Researchers who have been issued a referral from a New York City librarian to use a book, journal, CD, DVD, database, or other resource in the Graduate Center's print or electronic collections, may visit the Mina Rees Library with their METRO pass and photo ID.
METRO referrals grant one-time, day-long, on-site use of a specific item verified in a library catalog. Access is limited to the specific item or subject and does not guarantee unlimited access to a library. Consult with your referring librarian to make sure items are available for you when you visit.
See the METRO page in the Outside CUNY guide for a list of member institutions and additional information.
