This email is being sent to all members of the Baruch College faculty.

For an archive of announcements sent from the Provost’s Office beginning June 2011, see http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/provost/archive.htm

 

 

Dear Colleagues,

Some of you might have received book order forms in your mailboxes recently. These were sent to faculty members by mistake. As indicated previously, textbook orders will be processed by the bookstore only via data entered into Booklist. The information below comes from announcements sent earlier this fall.

*           *           *           *           *

In case you have not used BookList before there is a set of basic instructions on how to enter data into BookList at the bottom of this message.  CUNY has posted a BookList Resources page that includes a complete reference manual for faculty and a list of frequently asked questions at: http://www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/OLS/about-heoa/booklist.html

The information entered into BookList will be supplied to the Baruch College Bookstore so that faculty do not have to submit a separate textbook adoption form.  Faculty may share the information that they enter into BookList with any other bookstore they choose.

If you have questions regarding the use of BookList, please contact our campus BookList administrator, Arthur Downing (x1026).  Your department chair may have designated a member of your department staff to enter data or act as a point person for BookList.
