Access to the Library: Alumni/Alumnae

This guide provides information on access to the Brooklyn College Library for alumni/ae, friends, and the wider community of patrons.

Library Information for Graduates/Alumni

Brooklyn College alumni with a current Alumni Association ID may use Library resources and computers on-site at the Library. 
 
Alumni may secure an Alumni card from the Brooklyn College Office of Alumni Engagement, 1239 Ingersoll, (718) 951-5065.
 

Important: Due to agreements with our vendors, remote access to Brooklyn College Library's electronic resources (e.g., databases, ebooks) is not available.

However, you can still access e-resources from home! Many public libraries offer extensive collections of e-books, journals, and other materials.  You will need a library card to access their e-resources, but most public libraries allow you to obtain your card online. Simply visit the website of your local public library and search for their online resources.

If you are still in New York, be aware that we have three library systems: Brooklyn Public Library, New York Public Library, and the Queens Public Library.
