To add to the information from Chistian Keck of BCTC that just came out via email on the faculty-staff mailing list, I’d like to note that the campuswide network outage this coming Monday (Jan. 17) means that the library website will not be available. Although LibGuides and the library catalog will be available (they are not hosted on servers here at Baruch), links to authenticated resources (ebooks, databases, ejournals, etc.) will not work, as the EZ Proxy server we use is located here on campus and will be part of the shutdown.

Custom Search Boxes for Bearcat
If you are interested in setting up a custom search box for a cluster of databases in Bearcat (such as all the psychology databases in Bearcat or all the accounting databases in Bearcat), let me know. Saad and I were able to figure out how to get them to work on and off campus. You can see examples of these custom search boxes on the following LibGuides:
- The Finding Articles page on Louise’s Management guide (look for the box labeled “Bearcat Search for Business and Management”)
- The Getting Started page on my Literature guide (look for the box labeled “Literature Databases”)
- The Getting Started page on my Philosophy guide (look for the box labeled “Philosophy Databases”)
The code for these custom search boxes can be embedded in all sorts of places: web pages on the library site, blogs, wikis, etc. As an example, I’ve added the code for Louise’s business and management search box to this post:
Not sure where to start your search? Try Bearcat Search, which searches multiple databases at the same time.
