Graduate Computer Workstations

Location

Twelve computer workstations reserved for graduate students are deployed on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors of the library in carrels at either of the floor on the 25th Street side of the building (overlooking the Newman Vertical Campus). Each machine is marked “Graduate Computer Workstation.”

To use the new Graduate Student computers in the library, graduate students must input their Baruch Username in the “User Name” in the "User Name" field, and choose "student" as their domain in the "Log on to" field. If you do not know your Baruch Username, please go to the Baruch Computing and Technology Center (BCTC) page at

An error message will appear the first time users open a Microsoft Office application. Users should click on "OK" and the installation will proceed.

Main features

Each graduate student account has 250 megabytes storage on the server as a personal drive accessible through Drive “H” in “My Computer." anywhere on campus. On workstations located in the library building only, drive “H” is also mirrored simultaneously with “My Document”. Although we back data overnight, all data should also be saved by students to a floppy disk, CD, or other preferred media.
Each workstation will have access to all Newman Library research resources as well as Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer and other software installed specifically to meet graduate student research needs.

All workstations will be secured as much as possible without interfering with program operations. Because of the need for security, students may not load data or programs on the hard drives.
