Remote access to the BMCC Library databases requires a BMCC e-mail account. Many of the databases the BMCC Library subscribes to are also available on the CUNY Online Indexes page. However, the Library subscribes to a number of databases that are only available to BMCC students and are therefore not listed on the CUNY Online Indexes page. To access the databases you must be a currently enrolled student or a faculty member with an active I.D. in the CUNY library system. BMCC subscribes to thousands of journals and magazines in print and electronic format. A complete list of all available titles can be accessed on the Library pages. Titles that are available in electronic form include links to databases. The list can also be searched. XreferPlus is a database that contains the full text of reference books. It is available through the BMCC Full Text Databases page. Remote access requires a BMCC e-mail account. No password is necessary to access the Library Catalog CUNYPlus.
