NYU Libraries Catalog Features

This guide will take you through all the new features of the library catalog. Each new feature has a page in the guide with FAQ answers and screenshots. New features include:

• searching
• requesting
• filtering
• saving records
• and exploring resources beyond NYU's collections

If you encounter issues or errors in the catalog, you can always:

• Make a report through the Provide Feedback button embedded throughout the catalog.

• Reach out to library staff through Ask a Librarian 24/7 chat service or Ask a Librarian email. You can also get from at any of our service points across campus, either in-person or over the phone.

We welcome feedback so we can keep improving the catalog.

• Offsite: Items we own that are at our storage facility. They are not currently at any of our library locations. It usually take 1 to 3 business days for these items to arrive at our New York library locations.

• Onsite: Items housed at our library locations. Some onsite items may be "Non-circulating" meaning they can't borrowed.

• NYU-NY:  Refers to our library locations in New York.

• Consortium: Refers to the libraries we share our catalog with. This includes The New School, Cooper Union, and the New York School for Interior Design. NYU users can request items from these libraries to be delivered to your preferred NYU location.

  • The fastest way to get the book may be to physically visit the consortium library locations. More information can be found on our Access to Other Libraries webpage.
