Alumni and Friends of the library need to show current ID provided by the Institute. Members of the Academic Libraries of Brooklyn group are welcome with appropriate identification. Other outside researchers are admitted by appointment only. Metro Libraries Access to other college and university libraries is not automatic. Like the Pratt Library, private institutions such as Columbia and NYU are only open to patrons affiliated with their institutions.
Pratt students have access and borrowing privileges at participating libraries.
To use these libraries your library account must be in good standing. First you will need to obtain an ALB card at one of the Reference Desks. Take this card and your Pratt I.D. when you visit an ALB library. A list of journals owned at each of the participating libraries is available at the Reference Desks. Academic Index, a computerized index to journal articles, will tell you if the journal you need is owned at nearby St. Joseph's College or Pratt.
