Access to Databases

You can access the library's databases remotely (off campus) with your LIU Brooklyn email user name and password. After the "Remote Access Login Screen" appears, type in your LIU email and password. Click the "LOGIN" button. Database access is limited to current students, faculty, and staff.

Call Reference at 718-780-4513 if you are unable to access the databases.

Interlibrary Loan

If you come across a book, video or journal article you need for your research, and the Brooklyn Library does not provide it in print or electronic format, request it through our Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service.

ILL is available both intra-LIU (that is, all LIU campus libraries) and beyond via ILLIAD, a network of academic and public libraries outside of LIU the Brooklyn Library is part of.
