INFORMATION RESOURCES

 

Borrowing Library Materials
Materials may be borrowed with a valid Baruch ID; you must have your ID activated at the circulation desk in order to borrow materials, request materials online, and view electronic resources off campus. The loan period for general circulating materials for faculty is 16 weeks with a 16-week renewal. The loan period for video for faculty is one week. Upon your request, student aides and research assistants may borrow on your behalf once you have completed an authorization form at the circulation desk. A form to request Film is provided through the library's website through the "Request Forms" page. Call 646-312-1660 or send an e-mail to: reserve@baruch.cuny.edu.

Free Photocopying
The library provides free copy cards for faculty making single copies from library materials using the photocopy machines and microfilm equipment in the library. For more information, see the "Faculty Photocopy Cards" policy page or call 646-312-1650.

Database Searching
The library website provides access to many bibliographic and full-text databases that are accessible to faculty both on campus and off campus. Other databases are accessible via workstations in the library. A complete listing may be found on the library website under "Databases." Library faculty are available for consultation. Call 646-312-1610 or Email a Librarian for more information.

Interlibrary Loan
Materials not owned by Baruch can be borrowed from other CUNY libraries. You can search the online catalog to see if other CUNY institutions own a particular book; if they do you can request that it be delivered to Baruch directly via the catalog. Materials from other libraries can be returned at Baruch (Baruch faculty also have access privileges to most other CUNY libraries). If a book is not owned by CUNY, or a journal article is not available at Baruch, you can request these materials directly through ILLIAD which is the library's interlibrary loan service. In many cases journal articles can be delivered electronically through this system. Call 646-312-1674 or e-mail ILLBB@baruch.cuny.edu.

New Publications Alerts
Faculty are able to subscribe to many online tables of contents, whether or not the library subscribes to the particular journal. If you need help setting up your electronic table of contents alerts please contact Michael Waldman, the Head of Collection Development at 646-312-1689 or Michael.Waldman@baruch.cuny.edu.

Recommending Purchases
Faculty may recommend the purchase of library materials to support instruction and student research through their department liaison or through Michael Waldman at Michael.Waldman@baruch.cuny.edu or 646 312-1689.

Archives
The Baruch College Archives collects, describes and preserves records generated by administrative, faculty and staff offices of Baruch College, excluding records produced by the registrar, personnel office and business offices. The archives also contain special collections related to Bernard Baruch and the history of New York City. For more information visit the Archives page.

Library Research Guides
Librarians maintain a series of subject guides known as LibGuides. These guides recommend strategies and suggest and provide access to resources. They range from broad overviews of a particular discipline to coverage of individual courses, concepts, or data sets. In addition to these guides the library has created a number of individual tutorials and interactive presentations to assist users with business and industry research, financial research, oral presentations, and more. These are available from the library's Tutorials page.
