Working from home -- including teaching, writing, and studying from home -- only works if you have the tools to do it. For many of us in the GC community, the t...ools are books, some of them printed on paper and tantalizingly close (right there on Fifth Avenue!) but as inaccessible as if they were in Atlantis. Interlibrary loan can still get journal articles and book chapters, but physical copies of whole volumes can't be delivered.

You probably know that the Graduate Center library provides access to many databases (hundreds!), e-journals (tens of thousands!!), and e-books (hundreds of tho...usands!!!), and they can all be accessed off campus.
