Touro College Libraries
Site Map
As a member of the Touro College community, you have access to our libraries
which are located throughout the metropolitan New York area, on Long Island,
in Los Angeles, and on Miami Beach. The gateway to our resources
and services is our
Virtual
Library (www.touro.edu/library/). You can use it 24/7, renew
material online, and have material transferred from one library to the
one you use frequently. You can read ebooks any time, and search
scholarly databases for journal articles. You can also get reference
assistance and research advice via email.
Many resources on our Web site are preceded by a 
icon. These are proprietary (purchased or subscription) resources
that are restricted to the Touro community. They can be accessed
on-campus from Touro computers, and off-campus with a remote Username & Password.
