Outside CUNY: NYPL, MaRLI, METRO, & SHARES

Library privileges beyond CUNY

The New York Public Library offers enhanced borrowing privileges at its research libraries for GC affiliates, study rooms, and off-site access to e-resources.

MaRLI, the Manhattan Research Libraries Network, allows those approved by NYPL to visit and borrow from Columbia and NYU Libraries.

METRO referrals allow single-day, on-site access to NYC libraries, based on the need for an item that is otherwise unavailable. [Due to continued COVID closures, some libraries may not be available. Check with a librarian for more information.]

SHARES extends university and museum library on-site access to visitors with a current GC photo ID.
 

GC Interlibrary Loan delivers most resources from other libraries to the GC for pickup.
