This research guide is intended to direct students of the Jewish Studies department of CCNY to resources that will aid their research and general knowledge in the field.
Here are some options to get started on finding resources:
City College OneSearch combines in one searchable place three things: the CUNY library catalog; a massive index of articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers; and unique digital content from the library. The purpose of a discovery service is to allow patrons to search quickly and seamlessly across a vast range of local and remote content while providing relevancy-ranked results in the type of intuitive interface that information seekers have come to expect.
Our library has access to a large number of multidisciplinary databases. The one many students are the most familiar with is JSTOR, where you can access a large number of academic journals and primary sources across a wide range of topics.
Includes an interactive Jewish calendar which can be exported to Palm, Outlook, and iCal; Shabbat candle lighting times and Torah Readings; a Hebrew date converter; Jewish holiday dates; and the capability to generate a list of Yahrzeit and Yizkor dates, or Hebrew birthdays and anniversaries.
