Students and Faculty From Other Institutions
NYU Libraries offers students and faculty from other institutions access based on a number of reciprocal programs.
Students and faculty from some of the institutions listed below must pre-register for access. We cannot accommodate walk-in visitors.
American Language Institute
NYU Libraries offers access and limited borrowing privileges to American Language Institute (ALI) users.
