Indexes & Databases
NYU Libraries subscribes to approximately 700 databases that index scholarly journals, book chapters, dissertations, images (AP Photo Archives and fine art), reports, statistics, and more. Most of these can be accessed from the Libraries' website. http://library.nyu.edu/collections/find_articles.html.

Some databases provide a direct link to the full-text of an article. In other databases, your results list will often display a "Remote Link" next to a citation.

Information Technology Services (ITS)
NYU's Information Technology Services (ITS) provides computing, network, and telecommunications services. These services include: Internet access (through office NYU-NET connections, NYURoam wireless, DIAL modem access, and NYU ResNet service for students); NYUHome, our email and web portal service; NYUHome stations and computer labs; NYU Blackboard, computer classrooms, ITS Faculty Technology Services, the Digital Studio (in collaboration with the NYU Libraries), and other academic computing services; helpdesk, phone, and walk-in assistance at the ITS Client Services Center; classes; telephone and voice mail services; and a variety of additional resources.

For information about ITS and help with computer and network use, browse the ITS website at www.nyu.edu/its/ or call the ITS Client Services Center, your helpdesk and IT-support resource, at 1-212-998-3333. To access most ITS computing resources, you will need to activate your NYU NetID and NYUHome service (see corresponding sections in this guide for more information).

Interlibrary Loan
Use the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service to obtain loans or copies of items that the NYU or Consortium libraries do not own. Most ILL requests take about four days to fill. Journal articles may arrive more quickly and are posted electronically for retrieval. Submit requests and track their progress online at http://library.nyu.edu/ill/.

ITS Client Services Center (CSC)
The ITS Client Services Center (CSC) is dedicated to providing you with assistance and information about ITS services and resources, and NYU computer and network use.
