Gill Library, named in honor of Mother Irene Gill, O.S.U., the founder of the College, houses one of the largest research collections in Westchester County. This collection contains over 200,000 print and electronic volumes. The Library subscribes to over 80,000 periodicals that can be accessed on campus or remotely. The Library Archives has rare and unique materials such as the Ursuline Collections.
In addition to resources, the Library offers the following services to the College Community: information literacy instruction to groups and to individuals who request it, interlibrary and intercampus borrowing and delivery of materials, reference and research assistance, and technology access. Gill Library maintains a site with librarians at each of the five CNR campuses.
The Library recently opened the Learning Commons, a collaborative learning environment that serves as a one-stop shop for academic support. Students will have access the writing center, research help, and technology help in one space.
Gill Library is a member of the Association of College and Research Libraries, the Metropolitan New York Library Council, the SUNY OCLC computer‑based network of libraries and the Westchester Academic Library Directors Organization (WALDO). Affiliations with these organizations allow the College Community access to research resources beyond Gill Library’s holdings.
