The City University of New York

Not only does Brooklyn College serve the students and faculty of other CUNY campuses, but we also receive assistance from the University. In some cases (document delivery services; support for electronic information resources) it is relatively easy to fix a value for what the University provides. In others (a new integrated library system) attaching a specific cost is more difficult. It is safe to say that, absent the direct assistance the Office of Library Services provides to us, the Brooklyn College Library would certainly be a lesser place: our students and faculty benefit greatly from these centrally-supplied resources.

In 2003-2004 services received from CUNY central were valued as follows:

Electronic Resources $ 77,306
Document Delivery $ 15,880
Cataloging/Processing $ 18,000
GPO Tape Loading $ 1,500
  $112,686

  • CUNY Faculty & Students
    Our statistics show that the highest number of weekend users from other CUNY schools are from Hunter College, followed by Baruch College and City College.

  • CUNY Master Plan

    The president solicited input for the University's forthcoming master plan, and the Library responded with two documents, one about library matters (January 8), the other about technology (January 5).

  • Queens College Graduate School of Library & Information Studies
    On March 19 the Library hosted Professor Claudia Perry's library management class for a half-day session. Her students were interested in strategic planning, change management, environmental scanning, leadership vs. management, technology plans, and budget issues and selection of electronic and other resources.
