The Library has a variety of research options available to graduate school students. Please note that only the research databases require a login.
Book lists and recommendations are located on the Library website, in Educate (Bank Street’s institutional repository), or in a Research Guide. No logins are required to review resources, and whenever possible we try to hyperlink titles to the Bank Street Library catalog.
Audiobooks are a fun way to learn something new, but they do require a number of steps before you can sit back and lesson. The good news is that you only need to set up once. Try finding this audiobook through the databases “We Got This.” If you see a headphone icon and the word borrow in the database record you’re on the way to enjoying your first audiobook.
