CUNY’s Office of Library Services and SUNY’s Office of Library and Information Services are collaborating on a project to share materials among CUNY and SUNY libraries. Starting in mid-January, in addition to being able to request a book from any CUNY Library, patrons will be able to request books from SUNY Libraries. Students, faculty, and staff across CUNY will benefit from faster and more convenient access to the wealth of physical information resources shared by our systems.
Also starting in January, in support of the CUNY/SUNY initiative, CUNY library patrons will enjoy longer loan periods. Initial loan periods are increasing to 16 weeks (up from 8 weeks), with the option to renew material for a maximum loan length of 48 weeks. Items that are overdue will be declared lost after 60 days (up from 20 days), at which point patron accounts will be charged replacement fees.
As always, all CUNY users are welcome at any CUNY library!
