Access, Remote Access and the Library Barcode
All students are required to get a barcode in order to use any of the PACE Libraries.  You can get a barcode at the Graduate Center Library anytime the library is open  . . . .it takes about 3 minutes.   Once you have a barcode  . . . . the information world is at your fingertips as you can now use the library through remote access 24 hours a day, every day of the year.  Place your barcode on your student ID.  To access our databases remotely simply point your browser to: http://library.pace.edu   When you click on any of our databases a dialog box will appear asking for your name and the last seven digits of your library barcode.  PACE Libraries support:  Netscape and MS Internet Explorer.   Should you have any problems accessing remotely, please call us.

Books & Journal Articles
You can place your order online by going to the PACE Library Catalog.
Go to: http://library.pace.edu      Click on  Library Catalog to begin your search.
Click on  the  Request  button once you identify the book or journal you want and then fill out the electronic request form and submit.  Do not forget to choose your pickup location.

If PACE does not own the book or journal article you need  then click on the button that says Interlibrary Loan  on the first page of the Library Catalog:
http://innopac.pace.edu/search      fill out the electronic form and submit.

Remember  . . . . If  PACE owns the book it usually takes 2 -4 business days to receive it from one of our sister libraries.  If you order through Interlibrary Loan  (libraries outside of PACE) it can take up to 2 weeks to get a book and from 24 hours to 10 days to get an article.   Always include the date by which you must have the material, when filling out the electronic form, and include your phone number or email address so we can contact you the moment the material arrives.
