All Graduate Center faculty and staff are eligible for GC library privileges. This includes both central-line and consortial GC faculty, as well as all Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) faculty and staff. Library access is governed by CUNY Login credentials and a CUNY or GC photo ID card.
CUNY Login:
- CUNY Login credentials allow off-site access to the GC library's electronic resources (databases, e-journals, and ebooks), as well as access to the GC's interlibrary loan system (ILLiad).
- Forgot your CUNY Login? Retrieve your username, or reset your password.
- If you are consortial GC faculty and could not log in to library e-resources with your CUNY Login, your CUNY Login may not have the necessary GC affiliation information. Please contact librarysystems@gc.cuny.edu to request an update. In the meantime, please use your GC network ID for access to e-resources (2nd option on the login page).
CUNY or GC Photo ID Card:
- CUNY photo ID cards enable physical access to CUNY libraries, as well as circulation privileges.
- Consortial faculty with a photo ID card from another CUNY campus do not need a separate GC photo ID card for full GC library privileges.
- GC photo IDs are authorized by GC Human Resources or by GC Executive Officers in a letter to GC Security & Public Safety. Take your GC photo ID to the GC library's circulation desk (1st floor) to receive a barcode sticker, which is necessary for borrowing books and in some cases necessary for admittance to CUNY libraries.
- GC photo ID cards also allow access to libraries around the world, through the SHARES program.
