THE WILLIAM AND ANITA NEWMAN LIBRARY

www.newman.baruch.cuny.edu

The Newman Library is located on the first five floors of the Information and Technology Building at 151 East 25th Street. It is open from 7:00 a.m. until midnight everyday except during mid-term and final examination weeks when it is open 24x7.

The library holds almost half a million print volumes and provides access to approximately 35,000 full-text electronic journals and newspapers. The Baruch student ID card serves as a library card, but it must be activated at the circulation desk on the second floor the first time that a student uses it. Thereafter, a student can charge out books at the self-check machine next to the reference desk.

In addition to books, the library loans laptop computers, keys to study rooms, graphing calculators, and digital video cameras.

The library’s holdings are listed in the online catalog, CUNY+ along with the collections of the nineteen other CUNY libraries. Baruch students have on-site access to all CUNY libraries and they can have books delivered for pick-up from other CUNY campuses to Baruch (or any CUNY library of their choice) using the request feature in CUNY+.

The library offers frequent workshops to help students acquire information research skills that will help with class assignments. The library also offers credit courses, including courses toward a minor in Information Studies.

From the library’s web site students can search databases from off-campus, renew books, register for workshops, chat with a reference librarian, or a take a virtual tour of the library in ten languages.
