All CUNY students and faculty have access to all CUNY libraries and may check out books at all but CUNY Law. Reference books, special collections, audiovisual materials, and electronic resources may be used locally.

Ask at the reference desk on the second floor of the Graduate Center library for a one-time pass to visit New York City area libraries. These passes are issued by a librarian for materials that are not found in any CUNY library. For longer term access to nearby libraries, see MaRLI below.

This research initiative allows selected researchers access and circulation privileges at Columbia University, New York University, and New York Public Library's research libraries.
