♦ Using Your Library ♦

Stevens Staff have access to the Library! Below are just a few of the things you can do as a staff member.


Check Out Books

🪪Your Duck Card is your Library Card! 🪪

As a staff member, you can check out new and circulating books for 28 days. Search the catalog to discover books in our collection or request materials through interlibrary loan (explained below). Renewing books online is quick and easy, see our policies to learn more.

When you're in the building, visit the New Books Spinner in the Great Hall to find a collection of new fiction and nonfiction books, which you can check out and bring home.

This collection changes periodically so check back often!


Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Books and Articles

Interlibrary loan is a service that allows patrons to access materials not available in their own library by borrowing them from other institutions. In other words, if you want a book that the Library doesn’t own, we can (most likely) get it for you! Note that ebooks are not available through ILL.


Read the News

Sign up for free access to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.


Hang Out in the Library

You can use the Library! Come and relax, do some work, and check out our current exhibition “Innovation at Stevens: Centuries of Inspiration and Progress” on the first floor. 


Stream Videos

Kanopy is an on-demand streaming video platform for films, TV shows, educational videos, and documentaries. On most smart TVs you can install the Kanopy app and log in with your Stevens account.
