  • Sign into your account (CUNY First Credentials)

Screenshot of a OneSearch search bar. To the right of the search bar there is a drop down arrow to change the search location from Brooklyn to CUNY which his circled in red. The screenshot also shows the alert to sign in to your account to make requests and save items.

 

  • Click on the item's title (if it comes up)
  • Click the box to Request another CUNY Library's copy

Screenshot within the book record for "Subway Style". Towards the bottom of the image there is a large grey button under the header "How to Get It" that says "Request another CUNY Library's copy".

  • Return the book to any CUNY Library.
