How do I get books from other CUNY libraries?
Answer
CLICS (CUNY Libraries Inter-Campus Services) is a book delivery service which allows CUNY students, faculty and staff to borrow books from any CUNY library. This service extends only to standard loan materials (most circulating books in Stacks).
- Borrowers must follow the lending library’s loan policy.
- Books borrowed through CLICS may be returned to any CUNY library without traveling back to the lending library (some campuses may have limited access).
- Special loan material, such as reserve and multimedia items, must be returned to the lending library.
Follow the instructions below to request books from other CUNY campuses.
- Use the search box on the library homepage to find print books.
- When you find the book you need, make sure it’s in the Stacks and available to borrow.
- Click on the book title, and click the Sign In link in the yellow box.
- Login with your CUNY username and password.
- Scroll down to Get It and click on Request to request your book.
- Make sure the pickup institution is City Tech, and click Send Request.
- You’ll get an email when your book is ready to pickup, usually within 1-2 days.
