The MTAEF/MTA Library then …
After the MTAEF/MTA library was destroyed in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, publishers and the membership came to the rescue to restock the library, making it even better than the original. However, due to a lack of proper library facilities, the new library soon became too large, unmanageable, and in danger of being harmed again. What to do? The MTAEF set out to find a place for this collection of books, journals, research papers and charts where it could be properly catalogued and accessible to the membership. After a long search, The Newman Library at Baruch College offered a custody agreement. Under this agreement, the MTAEF/MTA would retain ownership of the material, and Baruch would house, catalogue, and handle the loaning of the publications, as well as store them in a climate-controlled setting under the safekeeping of professional librarians.
… and now at Baruch College
The MTAEF/MTA agreed to this arrangement. By joining forces with Baruch College, the library will continue to grow over time with donations from technical analysts and newly published works. Members and friends of the MTA will see the benefit (tax deduction) in supporting the growth of the library in its new home. This new setting will ensure that professionals will properly manage their long-treasured collections. More importantly, the new location will preserve rare and valuable technical works in a special section that will restrict access to the library only.
MTA members will be able to borrow their library’s books as they have in the past; Baruch students will be able to use these books in the library only; and Baruch faculty and other college professors with reciprocal library privileges will be able to use these books for their own research.
In addition, the MTAEF will be promoting the use of the library to the Baruch students, Baruch faculty, and other schools interested in technical analysis. Beginning in the spring of 2010, the MTAEF will sponsor research papers. The MTAEF/MTA Library has had a long journey from September 11 to Baruch College’s Newman Library.
