The College of Staten Island Library

As technology revolutionizes research and creates a worldwide scholarly community, the CSI Library has risen to the challenge of keeping abreast of the latest technological advances to provide its students and faculty with the tools they need to learn, and to change the world.

The Library benefits from a wireless network that allows students, faculty, and staff to gain untethered access to the Internet and e-mail. This CUNY first will give the CSI community quicker access to a world of learning. In addition, students can now check laptop computers out at the Circulation Desk. The Library has also updated its Videoconference Center to give all CUNY schools access to satellite broadcasts, and provide for easier intra-university communication.

The Library houses 212,554 volumes, 877,357 microforms, 14,500 audio-visual materials, and 1,664 other resources. It also provides access to more than 10,000 journal titles available in Full Text. Computer facilities include a fiber-optic network and wireless Internet access.

The CSI Library is a 21st Century learning center, and it continues to add new technologies and services to augment its contribution to education at the College. As it eases the challenges of conducting research and connecting people with the information they need, the world becomes a much smaller, but more advanced place.
