Library Services

Led by the University Dean of Libraries and Information Resources, Kristin Hart, the Office of Library Services (OLS) works with CUNY libraries and peer academic units to envision, implement, and deliver centralized library services and program management in support of CUNY’s mission. OLS acquires and licenses all university-wide electronic and digital collections and provides resource management, global discovery, and access to CUNY Libraries’ shared core collections and CUNY’s scholarly record. OLS also delivers centralized technical services including cataloging and book processing. Responsible for CUNY Libraries’ IT Strategy, OLS acquires, licenses, and administers all university-wide library enterprise technology and partners with CIS to provide CUNY libraries with technical/functional support services. OLS develops and oversees all university-wide OER and Open Access initiatives and administers CUNY’s Institutional Repository.
