Looking for E-Reserves?

ALERT: March 20, 2025 - Problem with Linking from Brightspace

 

Please note that e-reserves themselves are not down; it is only the linking to that service from Brightspace that is not working. If you were trying to connect to e-reserves from Brightspace, please go to this main web page from the library for e-reserves to find a working link to your class materials on e-reserve:

https://guides.newman.baruch.cuny.edu/er.php

 

Need help with the course password?

 

  • Call the circulation desk in the library at 646-312-1660 (hours)

  • Email the circulation desk at circulation@baruch.cuny.edu (make sure you provide the course number and the instructor's name)

  • Contact your instructor (the library will have already mailed your instructor the password at the start of the semester when the e-reserves were first set up)
