These research guides cover artificial intelligence, AI literacy, and AI ethics; government information and data rescue for the preservation of accurate, trusted online sources; and newspaper databases and popular news sources compiled into one location for convenient, easy access.

The 3 new research guides (and many others) can be found on our webpage at library.umbc.edu under “Research Guides” in the “Research Help” tab. Ask a Librarian through chat for any questions related to the research guides, orschedule an appointmentfor assistance getting started on your own research - no matter where you are in the process!

The DML offers free equipment loans, two recording spaces, and Mac editing stations. 


What kind of equipment do you have?
Quite a few models of DSLRs plus tripods, audio recorders, camcorders, mini-projectors, and DVD drives (among others). Find a full list and details on our website under "Equipment that can be checked out."

Unless you request an item, everything is available on a first-come, first-served basis.


How do I request an item for pickup at the Circulation desk?
It's pretty easy! Visit this website and click on what you want, then sign in with your myUMBC credentials and click "Request from UMBC."

Note: when you request an item, you enter a queue for the next available one. 


What new equipment have you added?
Glad you asked. We've now got:
  • Aaxa P6 projectors with built-in streaming apps
  • Two-person Rode podcast kits with USB connection and optional crane arms
  • Four-person Rode podcast kit with USB connection and optional crane arms
Note: the podcast kit bags are bulky


How do I book time in the Whisper Room or A/V Room?
On our website under Spaces, choose the room and click "Reserve this Space." You need to book the room at least 24 hours in advance (walk-ups are fine if no one reserved it).

FYI, the Whisper Room only fits one person!


Do I need a reservation to use a Mac?
Nope, no reservation needed. You must use headphones and we may restrict conversations if someone is recording. The Macs have Adobe CC, Final Cut Pro, Audacity, Garage Band, and other standard software. One has a flatbed scanner that can process slide negatives.


How do I find you?
It can be tricky! We're in room 216H on the second floor, next to the Honors College. 

From the elevators: turn left and go until you see a bunch of double doors on your right. Pass through those doors and continue straight. We've got a digital sign outside our door.


Can I bring my class or student org to tour the DML?
Absolutely! Please reach out to circlib-group@umbc.edu and staff will coordinate your visit.

Your voice, your community, your year—welcome to GSA.
Dear Graduate Students,
Welcome (or welcome back!) to UMBC. Whether you’re just beginning your graduate journey or returning to continue your work, I’m so glad you’re here. A new year means new challenges, new opportunities, and new chances to grow—and we in the Graduate Student Association (GSA) are excited to support you every step of the way.

My name is Aminah, and I have the privilege of serving as your GSA President this year. The GSA is your voice on campus, working to advocate for your needs, create opportunities for community, and make sure you have the resources and support to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Graduate school can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you’re not in it alone. I want you to know that I’m available to listen, answer questions, and help connect you with the right resources whenever you need. Think of GSA as your hub—a place to share your ideas, concerns, or even just to get involved and meet other amazing graduate students.

This year, I encourage you to take advantage of the events, opportunities, and networks we’re building. Come out, get connected, and let’s make this year one of progress, collaboration, and fun. 
I’m looking forward to meeting many of you and working together to make our graduate community stronger than ever.

Warmly,
Aminah Amjad
