STUDENT RESOURCES

SCPS ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES
Students enrolled in an SCPS master’s or graduate certificate program also have access to a variety of other academic services including faculty advisors, the NYU Writing Center, tutoring, workshops, and resource citing assistance.

NYU LIBRARY RESOURCES
The Elmer Holmes Bobst Library on Washington Square is NYU’s main library and one of its most valuable resources. It is the flagship of an eight-library, 4.7-million-volume system that is at the center of NYU’s intellectual life. Bobst has more than 3.3 million books, thousands of journal subscriptions, videos, CDs, DVDs, music scores, play scripts, government documents, and more. Subject librarians are available to assist users in their library research. There are also seven other specialized NYU libraries. The library’s collection of e-journals, e-books, databases, and other electronic materials expands daily. The library subscribes to hundreds of indexing services (databases) and over 17,000 electronic journals. Most of these resources can be used in the library and off site in other locations. At the Real Estate Institute, the Jack Brause Library is the most comprehensive facility of its kind. It was designed for the real estate and construction communities as well as for students in the master’s programs. In addition to books and periodicals, you have access to indexes, directories, and databases on topics such as property information and ownership, construction and renovation reports for Manhattan, and building maps and NASA images for area analysis, among others.

HELEN AND MARTIN KIMMEL CENTER FOR UNIVERSITY LIFE
On Washington Square South, next to Bobst Library, stands the Kimmel Center for University Life, which houses dining facilities, student lounges, space for student clubs and activity programming, and the Skirball Center for Performing Arts, the largest performance center in lower Manhattan. The Kimmel Center provides a place for many of the events that make up NYU’s rich and varied campus life. Here you may attend club meetings and events, career information sessions and recruitment fairs, lectures and conferences featuring national and international leaders, and local and national theater productions. You may also study in one of the lounges or meet friends at the food court.

COMPUTER RESOURCES
The School of Continuing and Professional Studies has state-of-the-art computer laboratories at its downtown Washington Square campus (48 Cooper Square), in the Woolworth Building (15 Barclay Street), and at its midtown facility (11 West 42nd Street). Computer labs are also available in other NYU facilities in the Washington Square vicinity. Information Technology Services (ITS) is NYU’s central source for computing, information, network, and telecommunications services. NYUHome accounts provide you with a fully customizable, easy-to-use Web portal for e-mail and personal Web pages, online courses and research tools, and NYU-Net, the campus-wide network. ITS maintains four large, modern computer labs with high-end Macintosh and Windows computers, laser printers, multimedia equipment, and a wide variety of software. Its client services division also provides comprehensive assistance on all materials and equipment.
