CUNY Libraries Inter-Campus Service (CLICS)
INTRA-CUNY BORROWING
Books held at distant CUNY campuses may now be delivered to the CUNY campus of your choice for pickup. Need a book from the Hunter College Library? Need another one from LaGuardia Community College? Use INTRA-CUNY Borrowing (CLICS) via CUNY+
How it works:
In CUNY+ select “All CUNY Libraries” at the top right of the screen before searching.
Search for your book by title or author. If it’s a circulating book, click on the orange “REQUEST” button.
The “My Account” screen will open and you will be prompted to enter your library barcode ID number, which on the lower bottom right hand corner of your ID card. Baruch student barcodes begin with 21716, also your password is the same as your library barcode if you have not changed it.
From the dropdown menu select the library you would like to pick up the book at.
- Be sure to log out of your CUNY+ session when you are done by clicking on “End Session” button on the uppermost blue taskbar
An e-mail notification will be sent to you when the book is available for pick-up.
Eligibility:
All CUNY undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members or staff members with an active, unblocked library account at one of the CUNY Libraries may use the service.
Regularly circulating books may be requested whether they are on the shelf or already checked out to another patron
It's just a click away!
Exception:
You may not request books from your home campus library via CLICS. For example, if your home library is Baruch College, you cannot request that a book be pulled from the stacks at Baruch and be delivered to the Circulation Desk at Baruch.
Other related news:
Courtesy reminders will be sent to borrowers three days prior to an item's due date. (Make sure your library has your current email address!)
You can renew items online in CUNY+ as long as they are not already overdue.
FAQ's:
Can I use CLICS from home?
Yes. You can search and request from CUNY+ using any browser from any location. CUNY+ recognizes your home campus by your library barcode.
How long will it take to get my book?
That will depend on the day of the week and time of day you make your request. However, as part of the CLICS implementation, the CUNY libraries are all receiving daily inter-campus week day pick-up and delivery service. Our aim is gradually to reduce delivery time to several days, excluding weekends and holidays. Our ability to achieve this goal will depend on the volume of requests as well as staff availability.
What if something I requested using CLICS is missing?
You will be notified if your request can't be filled by the library from which you requested it. You can request the book again from another CUNY library.
Where should I return the Book?
You may return the library book at any CUNY library.
What if none of the copies listed in CUNY+ are available?
If copies of an item are out on loan, you can put a recall on the copies and you will be notified when it becomes available. If all the listed copies are missing or are unavailable for other reasons, you can request it through your local Interlibrary Loan service. Check with your library's Interlibrary Loan policies and procedures for eligibility, etc.
I have more questions. Where can I get additional information?
Contact staff at the Circulation Desk at 646-312-1660 or any of the CUNY Libraries. For individual library loan and fine policies, you can look at the CUNY Libraries Circulation Policies.
