Welcome to the new catalog at the Laurance S. Rockefeller Library!


Here are some of the features and improvements that our new catalog provides:

  • Improved searching
  • Managing your Library account
  • Renewing Library items
  • Placing holds on items
  • Interactivity: writing reviews, tagging (user-generated subject terms), saving lists


Logging in to your CIIS Library account

Please note that you do not have to log in to your account to search the catalog.

You will have to log in to renew or request books, or to access many of the advanced features.

Log in by clicking the link in the upper-right corner of the page.

Your Library account Login is your first name and last name separated by a period (e.g. firstname.lastname). For students, your password for your Library account is the same as your password for MyCIIS. If you do not remember your MyCIIS password, please follow the link in the menu on the left to retrieve your password.

If you are not a student, please contact the Library Circulation Desk at (415) 575-6180 or circ_at_ciis.edu and we will advise you of your password.

Please note that we update the data in our system the first Wednesday of the month, so if you have changed your MyCIIS password since that time, it may not have been changed yet in the Library. If you have recently changed your password, or you retrieved your password from MyCIIS and it does not work, please call the Library Circulation Desk.


Please take a look around and let us know what you think!
