CUNY doctoral faculty, Graduate Center + ASRC faculty and retirees are eligible for Graduate Center Library privileges, governed by a GC network account and a GC photo ID.

GC network accounts allow access to GC Library e-resources from off-campus. GC network credentials are routinely authorized by GC Human Resources during employment on-boarding and retirement planning. Forgotten passwords can be self-reset. Doctoral faculty and retirees without a GC network account can apply for one with an inquiry to Itservices@gc.cuny.edu.

GC photo ID cards allow use of CUNY libraries and book borrowing. 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 Circulation Desk (1st floor) for a barcode sticker for library admission and for borrowing books. 

A GC faculty, student, or staff photo ID allows access to libraries around the world, through the SHARES program.
