To listen to a recorded message of Bobst Library hours call 998-2520. Access to Bobst Bobst Library's resources are intended primarily for faculty, students, and other members of the NYU community. Faculty and students must swipe their valid NYUCard upon entering Bobst. Other researchers are granted access if they demonstrate a recognized need to use the collections. Certain other scholars, such as those collaborating with NYU faculty on research projects, can qualify for Bobst research affiliate status by application through their appropriate Deans'office.
Research affiliates have borrowing privileges renewable each academic term.
Students not enrolled for the summer term are eligible for full library privileges if they are completing coursework in a degree-granting program, are in good standing at the end of the spring term, and are planning to enroll the following fall. Deans' offices screen and approve such requests. Borrowing privileges or year-long reading privileges for other visitors are granted through annual contributions to the Friends of Bobst Library. Application is made at the Access Office on the first floor of Bobst. Students and faculty from institutions that belong to the Research Libraries Group ShaRes Program are also granted access with reading privileges if they display a valid ID from their institution.
