New York Public Library

Did you know all New York State residents have access to New York Public Library's vast holdings?

"Any person who lives, works, attends school or pays property taxes in New York State is eligible to receive a New York Public Library card free of charge" (NYPL Library Card Terms and Conditions).

Residents from areas of NY State outside of the Metro NY area may e-mail or fax copies of the required forms of identification.

Having this card will continue to provide you many of the print and electronic resources that are available to you as an Adelphi University student. The card will provide you access to 211 databases from home such as:

  • Sociological Abstracts
  • Social Services Abstracts
  • Academic Search Premier
  • Chicago Manual of Style
  • Credo Literati
  • ProQuest Research Library
  • Credo Reference
  • Gale Virtual Reference Library
  • Oxford Handbooks Online
  • Sage Knowledge
  • JSTOR
  • Project Muse
  • Mango Languages
  • Lynda.com
