JWST 23200: Jews in Film and Fiction: Database Access Off Campus

Validate your Barcode

Before you can request books you must validate the barcode on the back of your CCNY ID card at the Library Circulation desk. You must validate your barcode in person. Due to licensing agreements with our database vendors, we cannot verify your identity over the phone or through email.

Your barcode expires and must be validated every semester.

Proxy Service for CCNY Faculty, Staff and Students

Proxy service enables library users to access commercially licensed electronic resources when connecting to the web from off campus (home or on the road). It applies to those resources that have been licensed for CCNY users only, such as ScienceDirect or Avery Index. It also applies to those resources licensed for all of CUNY, such as Lexis-Nexis or Academic Search Complete.

Qualifying for a proxy account:

  • You must be a member of the CCNY faculty, staff or student body.
  • You must have a valid City College e-mail account.
  • You must have a valid barcode.
    (Note: If you do not have a valid library barcode, simply go to the ID Office with your CCNY ID and you will be given a barcode)

Registering for a proxy account:

Registering for a proxy account is automatic if you use your City College email login credentials.

(Remember, you do not need proxy access from computers on the CCNY campus.)

If you have any questions regarding the service please click 'Ask a Librarian'.
