Starting in Fall 2023 myCourses shells are directly linked to library InfoGuides!

What are InfoGuides?

InfoGuides are librarian-curated guides providing students with course and subject specific databases, books, citation resources, and librarian contact information.

• Books, journals, and more can be checked out in person or requested via the RIT Libraries website and picked up at our new Library Services Desk.
• Interlibrary Loan services are fully operational.

Are you looking for a book or a video? How do you find the title you are interested in? Use the library catalog! Go to https://www.rit.edu/library/ and scroll down to the middle of the page. Click on the catalog tab and type in your keywords, author, or title to find the item. The direct link to the catalog is https://albert.rit.edu/search/?searchtype=X&SORT=D&searcharg=&searchscope=3

If you are thinking about requesting streaming media titles for your Fall 2023 classes, here are some important updates:
