High School Students: Home

Welcome

 

Welcome to the Brooklyn College Library!

This page is a resource guide for high school students from any of Brooklyn College's High School Programs. Brooklyn College partners with Brooklyn College Academy, College Now, STAR, Midwood High School, and other Brooklyn high schools to enrich student learning and prepare students for higher education. This guide provides relevant information for navigating the library's resources as well as finding, evaluating, producing, and citing information. Additionally, information about public libraries and test preparation is included.

Brooklyn College's programs allow high school students to utilize the Library's resources. We attempt to provide as much access as possible to the Library's resources, however this access varies by program and by enrollment. Please consult this chart to see your institution's access privileges.

If you ever have any questions, you can always contact the Reference librarians.

We hope to see you around!
