Hi Lindsey,

The event will be recorded and live streamed, I assume the video will be available for viewing after the event as well. I’ll be sure to post the url to the library homepage as well as this site.

thanks for your interest!

The bottom line is that NYPL wants CUNY students (all of CUNY, not just GC) to think of NYPL as their local library. I think most of the NYPL curators think of this as a presentation/ networking event. The point is to establish personal connections with divisions that you’ll want to use. Whether you can attend the event or not should not matter. If you can’t attend, send an email to the divisions that interest you and set up an appointment to understand what they have and how they can help you. NYPL is a big institution; unlike the circulating library, many things in the research library are not self-evident (and many thousands of things are not even cataloged).

Learning how to build a relationship with a library and library staff is an essential research skill: Here’s your opportunity to start working on it.
