Catalogs

OneSearch This link opens in a new window
City College OneSearch combines in one searchable place three things:

1. The CUNY library catalog
2. A massive index of articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers
3. A 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.

NYPL Catalog
There may be times when you need immediate access to several books that are spread out across different CUNY libraries and cannot use our CLICS service. Use the NYPL catalog to see if the books are in the NYPL research libraries and spend a day using the books on-site at their library. Faculty and graduate students should also check out the MaRLI Initiative: http://libguides.gc.cuny.edu/marli

WorldCat This link opens in a new window
WorldCat provides complete bibliographic information on nearly all materials published in all subject areas in all languages. It draws its information from the library holdings of thousands of libraries around the world. Included in the database are books, periodicals (but not individual articles), sound and video recordings, electronic resources, dissertations and theses.

Featured resource

Archivos Histórico de Revistas Argentinas - Crisis

This historical archive brings you a rich and wonderful source of high-resolution digital copies of the published magazines. A highlight of the archive is the first run of the magazine Crisis that counted with the respected intellectual, Eduardo Galeano, as its editorial director. The first run of this magazine, from 1973-1976, included many interviews and essays from authors, philosophers and artists from Latin America and captured the culture, politics and art of the Argentinian society in the period immediately preceding the dictatorship of 1976.
