When you open an item on the library website, it’s important to copy the permalink, if you want to share the item with somebody. That’s what I have done, sharing books and articles with you here.

There a couple of important things to know about the Library.

• The database login is CUNY First (the same login as blackboard).
• We have a large ebook collection, but we also have a strong paper collection. They are not identical.
• Don’t hesitate to ask for help.
• I usually suggest students start with OneSearch. One search includes books and articles, and is a good overview if you are not sure where to start.

The stories that need to be told are usually to long and complicated to make an easy to read article. That was my first response when I went to the Library and did a search on J Edgar Hoover. Books, many books.
