CUNY Online BA Student ID Card

For the CUNY Online BA students, the ID cards are issued through the School of Professional Studies and are picture-less but there should always be a current semester validation sticker. Students will be expected to produce a photo ID along with their CUNY Online BA-ID card.

[Note from A.D.: If a holder of this card does not provide a matching photo ID, access should not be granted. Please let Security make the determination.]

Vendor Printer 8-22-06

Noticing that our past arrangement to place an icon on the Internet public
workstation to Activate and Clear Vendor printer was confusing and
frustrating to users, especially that it can only work if a user is already
logged in via Bluesocket. In the new public workstations being installed
this week, I have removed the icon.

Users will now see "Vendor Printer" as an option to direct print jobs to.
With this method there will be no popups anymore. That software never
worked smoothly with Bluesocket. But since we have extremely few jobs sent
to the vendor printer, there will be not confusion between jobs sent at the
release workstation. This new way will eliminate current problems and make
Brian happy too.

Unbound individual cases and reprints are shipped directly to your local distributor of choice, where materials can be collated. Orders are processed within two days. To take advantage of this option, simply place an order on this website or contact us directly (800) 545-7685 or by fax at (617) 783-7666. Mail orders can be sent to 60 Harvard Way, Boston, MA 02163.

For permission to copy:
Requesting Permission to Copy
If you already have a copy of an item you'd like to use in your classroom, the fastest way to get copies for your students is to request permission to copy the material from Harvard Business School Publishing. This option saves you time since the copies are produced locally at your campus bookstore, university copy service, or nearby copy shop. Securing permission offers you three benefits:
Reduced price per copy

Access to the Newman Library is generally restricted to current students, faculty and staff of the City University of New York, as well as retired CUNY faculty. Access is also permitted for current faculty and students of Empire State College with a valid Empire State College identification card.
Baruch College Alumni who are interested in library access should contact the Alumni Relations Office (646-660-6097).
Residents of the New York Metropolitan Area who need access to specific materials in the Newman Library that are not available in the public library system should contact their local library about obtaining a referral card.
Other individuals with an ongoing need for access to the Newman Library, including alumni of other CUNY campuses, are encouraged to apply for membership in the Friends of the Newman Library. For more information, including the fee schedule, visit the Friends of the Newman Library Web page.

Reserve Overnight Loans

When checking out materials that are overnight reserve items (one, two or three day loans) we no longer change the due time to 4:50 pm. At the time they borrowed the item that is the time it is due, except if it is due Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, than the due time is 4:50 pm. For example; if a patron borrows an overnight item on 11/22/05 at 12:15 pm it is due on 11/23/05 at 12:15 pm. It is also important that we write this on this on the due date slip as well. If the item does not have a date due slip please put one on.

Can a professor show a video outside of their class?

Technically unless our film (I assume the Prof is talking about a video or dvd) was purchased with a license granting other than direct curriculum related showings, one could not show it. But since he is not charging admission and as long as it is curriculum related it would be ok if it were not advertised to the entire college, but limited to students just in his classes as a special event.
