The LP2 program is a non-degree program of the Graduate Center. Members of LP2 are able to access the library space at 365 Fifth Avenue, including access to library books, other materials and e-resources, by showing their Graduate Center LP2 ID upon entering the building.
LP2 members may access the Library's electronic resources off-site using their individual GC Network ID and Password. Resources include hundreds of databases, scholarly journal articles, Ebooks, and more. You can also log into the on-site computers with the GC Network ID. If you have any technical issues with the username/password, please contact IT Services: itservices@gc.cuny.edu/
The library's liaison to LP2, science librarian Mason Brown, has offered and recorded a brand new workshop on LP2 library access on 8/30/22, focused on easing the difficulties with remote library access.
