What's Available 

Mount Sinai Alumni have in-person access to use library print and most electronic resources by appointment. The small number of resources which require registration with a Mount Sinai email will not be available to Alumni. 

Note: Due to publisher agreements, remote access to library resources is limited to persons with active Mount Sinai credentials. Mount Sinai Alumni who are engaged in clinical care, teaching or research with Mount Sinai may be eligible through their Mount Sinai departmental sponsor.

Access to the Levy Library is typically available by appointment Monday - Friday  7:30am - 6:00pm.*

Scheduling your visit

Alumni must submit a Levy Library Access Request Form to schedule a date and time to visit the Levy Library. After you submit the form, we will notify you via email when your visit access request has been received and approved*. Please allow at least one business day for us to review and process your request. If you don’t receive the email, search your email folders (including spam) for “Levy Library Access Request” or ”Levy Library visit confirmation”. Approved visitors will be added to the library visitor access list(s). 

While we would prefer a lead time of 5 business days for all access requests, if you need to visit the library on the same day of your request, please submit the form and then contact the library directly at (212) 241-7791.

*Due to library space needs of the Mount Sinai community, we may not be able to approve your requested visit date and/or time.
