How do I access library resources from home?
Answer
Off-Campus Database Access
CUNY Login
York Library users can use their CUNY Login credentials for for remote access to databases. You already use the CUNY Login to access BlackBoard and CUNYfirst, and now you can use it for any York Library databases, too. Use your CUNY login whenever prompted to authenticate for databases, articles, and more -- and that's the only library credential you will need!
If you are having any trouble accessing resources remotely, please chat with us for immediate help or email reference@york.cuny.edu.
Note that York College's VPN system is not recommended for library resources.
