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 NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate, 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 the 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.
