Formal courses in basic library research methods and information literacy are offered by library faculty. Upon request, course-related instruction in a variety of discipline areas, both graduate and undergraduate, is also available for class groups. These include, where relevant, instruction in online and print access to multiple databases. Library tours are also offered on a regular schedule during the first two months of the semester. These are open to all library users. A series of online tutorials on the basics of Library research, called the CUNY Information Competency Tutorials, is also available. It can be reached through the Library’s “Instruction/Tutorials” Web page. Workshops on the new CUNY + catalo (the online catalog of the City University of New York libraries) will be offered beginning spring 2004. Specialized orientation is also offered to all new faculty annually.
The Benjamin S. Rosenthal Library, which holds the principal collections, also houses the Art Library and the Art Center at Queens College. The Music Library is located in the Music Building.
