The Graduate Center Library welcomes book purchase suggestions from the Graduate Center community. The library will carefully consider requests that are consistent with our Collection Policy.

Start here to get books, articles, databases, interlibrary loan, reference help and more.

Need an article from a journal not at the Grad Center? Need a book that isn't available at any CUNY library? Go here to submit an interlibrary loan request.

Need an answer right away? Reference help available 24 hours a day through Ask-A-Librarian chat and email service.

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 only within these libraries.

Ask at the reference desk on the second floor of the Graduate Center library for one-time-only passes to New York City area libraries, beyond CUNY.
If items are available at a CUNY library, you would use CLICs (Inter-library borrowing) or visit that library in person; Metro Cards are used for one-time to access beyond CUNY's collections. For longer access, see MaRLI above.

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