Off Campus Access to Databases for CCNY Faculty, Staff, and Students

Use your CUNY Single Login and associated password for off campus access to CCNY databases and journals (which includes the core set of databases and journals shared by all CUNY libraries). You must enter access resources from the library's A-Z list, or from the Journals by Title list, then follow the log in prompt.

Please note: Library barcodes, found on the back of your CCNY ID card, are no longer needed to log into library resources from off-campus.
