The CUNY Graduate Center Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society Fellows are provided with GC network email accounts for off-site access to GC library databases and e-resources. Fellows are issued brown GC photo ID cards marked "Temporary." 1st floor GC library circulation staff affix a GC library barcode to the ID. The GC photo ID allows full GC faculty borrowing privileges, including intra-CUNY visiting and borrowing. Fellows create GC Interlibrary loan accounts by self-registering online, once the GC library barcode is affixed to the ID.
