Scholarly Publishing Drop-In Hour

This drop-in session is for any member of the Graduate Center community with questions about scholarly publishing or other aspects of scholarly communication.
Dissertation Office Drop-in Hours
Tuesday, 1/9 2:00pm-4:00pm
https://gc-cuny.libcal.com/event/11752659
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.
(NB: Students are still welcome to stop by the Dissertation Office (room 2304) at other times or request an online or in-person appointment during regular business hours by emailing the Dissertation Office at deposit@gc.cuny.edu.)
Additional Updates:
As always, everyone is encouraged 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. Find out more about ILL here:
