Empirical models for emission from stars and the ISM are subtracted from the zodiacal-light-subtracted DIRBE 3.5 pm emission. Because the models are contaminated by unknown levels of the CM at other near-IR wavelength, the residual is not simply the 3.5 Jim Cosmic IR Background, but a linear combination of the background levels at several wavelengths. In spite of this, the residual can be used to place limits on the near-IR CIB intensity if its spectral shape is assumed. Additionally, the residual level is shown to be more nearly isotropic than previous estimates over a much larger fraction of the sky. An excellent correlation of near-IR and far-IR ISM emission provides evidence of the high accuracy of the brighter stellar emission model. The possibility that any residual emission is zodiacal in nature is discussed.
