The Library is working with students from Future Healers of America-Queens College and the QC Optometry Club to help you do some good with your old eyeglasses.
We are collecting donations of gently used eyeglasses at the library’s Borrowing Desk. Items will be sent to New Eyes for the Needy, a 501(C)(3)charity that accepts, recycles, and distributes glasses to those in need.
Does your QC student club want to learn how the library’s spaces and staff can help support your projects? Talk to us!
Applications are due March 22!
We’re partnering with QC’s Center for Career Engagement and Internships to spread the word about CUNY Service Corps, a program that matches QC students with paid internships at local nonprofits and government agencies.
The deadline is March 22, so check out their website to learn more.
Tuesday, March 3. 12:15-1:30 PM. Rosenthal Classroom 225.
What do your students learn from their assigned reading? How do you know? In this workshop, Emerging Technologies and Digital Scholarship Librarian Leila Walker will show how collaborative annotation tools can help cultivate critical reading habits and develop close reading skills, and indicate where students might need extra guidance to understand the material.
Faculty will leave the workshop with a basic understanding of the tools and a draft lesson plan involving collaborative annotation.

With baseball art and artifacts from a variety of private collections, this is a perfect event to welcome in Spring!
On display February 18-March 15 in the Queens College Art Center: Rosenthal Library, Level 6.
Rosenthal Library closed today at 5 PM, a schedule change from previous semesters many users were unprepared for. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused, and will have updated information on our weekend hours available as soon as possible.
QC Libraries, and all of CUNY, are closed Monday, January 20 in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
All centrally-hosted library services (OneSearch, Classic Catalog and Find it! @ CUNY) will be intermittently unavailable while the CUNY Office of Computing & Information Services migrates applications and services from the 57th St. data center to the new Hudson St. data center on December 14–15, 2019.
Over the weekend, you may experience problems with:
The Classic Catalog will be completely unavailable during the migration. OneSearch will allow searching and viewing results, but no real-time data or full-text links will be available. Also, Find it! @ CUNY links will not work in WorldCat or databases.
Databases with full-text article and ebook access will still be available from our A-Z list. If you are looking for a specific article, your best bet is to use the library’s Journal Finder. Simply enter the journal title to see a list of databases that provide full-text access. And you will still be able to search the library’s collections using OneSearch (only real-time data like whether a book is checked out will be affected) or find full-text articles using Google Scholar.
Yes, the library will have manual checkouts in place when the systems are down over the weekend.
Applications will go down at 6:00 AM on Saturday, December 14, 2019. The maintenance window officially ends at 6:00 PM on Sunday, December 15, 2019, though we are hopeful that the library systems will be up long before then. We apologize for any inconvenience these disruptions may cause at this moment in the semester.
