Upcoming Workshops

 

Dissertation Office Drop-in Hours

Tuesday 8/27, 2:00pm-4:00pm

Have a last-minute concern about depositing your dissertation or thesis? The library’s Dissertation Office dedicates time for drop-in Zoom consultations most Tuesdays from 2-4pm. Specific hours may vary from week to week; see registration page. Advance registration is not required but you must fill out the registration form to be connected. If another student is being assisted, you’ll be kept in the “waiting room” until the librarian is available.

 

Set up a Consultation with your Subject Librarian

It’s still possible to meet with your Subject Librarian during the summer! To meet with the librarian from your program, feel free to select a time/date that works for you. The library is happy to make arrangements to meet with you at other times, so also reach out by email.

 

Additional Updates:

As always, the library encourages everyone to submit Interlibrary Loan (ILL) requests! ILL is an excellent way to obtain materials beyond the Graduate Center Library, in the form of print books, electronic articles/Ebook chapters, DVD’s, microfilm and more.
