Feel free to reach out to the Library anytime with questions, we're happy to help out.

Ask a Librarian - Our online chat service is available 24/7. During late-night hours, an academic librarian from one of our partner libraries may assist you.
Subject Liaision - Feel free to reach out to a subject librarian to consult about a particular topic. (See the contact information for Mason Brown at right!)
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 by showing their Graduate Center LP2 ID upon entering the building and again just inside the library.
Once inside the library, members have full access to the library's print and digital collections.
Digital collections can be accessed through the library computers by logging in with your Graduate Center Network ID. You can also access digital collections on your personal device by logging into the Graduate Center Community WiFi with your Network ID. If you don’t know what your Network ID is, please contact the LP2 office at lp2@gc.cuny.edu.
Digital resources can be searched using the library’s OneSearch.
All journal articles and most ebooks are available directly from OneSearch. Some Ebooks may ask for an additional CUNYFirst sign in that LP2 members don’t have. If you run into this problem, please instead search for the Ebook using Ebook Central. Due to restrictions put in place by the vendors, there may be limitations on the number of pages that are downloadable in some ebooks.
LP2 members can also print for free at the library. Please follow these instructions to print from either a library computer or your own device. Scan and copier services are also available.
