The Hunter College Libraries offer a wide range of print and electronic resources to assist you with your research. Here are some basic tutorials that will help you get started searching for books and other materials in the libraries' collections.
By viewing the different modules in the tutorials, you will learn how to conduct basic searches in CUNY+ (the library catalog), find the call number of a book, and learn different ways to locate journals and journal articles.
