Sadly, the Queens College Libraries will not always have the book that you want. However, it's possible that the book is held at another CUNY library. If it is, we can deliver it to you in about a week, through a service called CLICS.
You can use One Search to find books in other CUNY libraries besides Queens College. On the Advanced Search page, choose CUNY Libraries and type in your search as usual.

In this case we are doing a Title search for the book What Would Google Do? and we want to search across all CUNY libraries.

When you have found the book, the location of where the book is held will appear under "How to Get It". |

At the bottom of the record, you will find a list of CUNY colleges where the book is held. You can now confirm that Queens College does not have it. To get it, you will need to order it through CLICS.

Note: You cannot order Reference or Reserve books through CLICS. To order the book through CLICS, click on Request a Copy. This will bring you to a login screen. To log in, you need the barcode on the back of your Queens College ID card. Your password is also your barcode, until you change it to something else. Once you log in, you can have the book sent to the Queens College library, or to any other library in the CUNY system.

CLICS is a very useful service, but you can only use it to order circulating books held in CUNY libraries.
You CANNOT use CUNY Books for the following:
For those materials, you must use Interlibrary Loan, a service which allows the Library to borrow from libraries outside the CUNY system.
