We’re pleased to announce that UMBC faculty can now import publications from ORCID into Digital Measures (DM)! 

ORCID is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting research and researchers. ORCID provides persistent digital identifiers that researchers own and control for sharing information with other systems, ensuring proper attribution and recognition for scholarly output, and saving time and hassle. Over 1,000 organizations, many of them universities and research institutions, participate as consortial members in ORCID. 

This new integration with Digital Measures (DM) was made possible as part of UMBC’s ORCID membership which took effect on March 1, 2021. UMBC faculty members updating the Intellectual Contributions section of their DM profiles can now select ORCID from the list of third party services offering imported citations. We know faculty maintain records in many online systems and we’re pleased to be able to provide this as an option for saving time. 

Instructions are available on the Library’s website: https://lib.guides.umbc.edu/c.php?g=1047837&p=7604167#s-lg-box-26854360 

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Michelle Flinchbaugh, Digital Scholarship Services Librarian, at flinchba@umbc.edu

Please note that UMBC does not require the creation of an ORCID account nor connection with DM for those who already have ORCID accounts and prefer to keep them separate. For those interested in learning more about ORCID before getting started, the library website and ORCID’s own website contain a wealth of information on features, privacy, security, and researcher control over data.

As part of UMBC’s efforts to assist with a smooth fall return to campus for staff, faculty, and graduate assistants (GAs) we have partnered with Care@Work to provide extended options for childcare, eldercare, petcare, and a host of other services. 
Care@Work connects families and caregivers. It offers a flexible platform — available on mobile, desktop, and in the iPhone and Android app stores. Care@Work provides eligible employees (regular staff and faculty, Contingent II staff, and GAs) with tools to help make informed hiring decisions whenever and wherever care needs arise. With UMBC’s free Premium Membership, eligible staff, faculty, and GAs can post a caregiver request and browse through active caregivers on the site, use the Safety Center, receive newsletters filled with tips and advice, and access the wealth of care-related content in the online community. Eligible employees and GAs also have access to view full profiles and reviews, contact caregivers, purchase background checks, subsidized backup care (tiered copay schedule), and tuition discounts at participating childcare centers.
We encourage eligible employees and GAs to visit the UMBC Care at Work website to review program enrollment and available resources. Questions regarding the Care@Work enrollment process should be directed to the HR Benefits Staff at hrbenefits@umbc.edu.

You just graduated from college. Or maybe you’re graduating soon. Now you need to connect with employers, tell your story, differentiate yourself, and land on a team doing meaningful work. 

One of the most important next steps is to build a personal website.

No matter your degree or industry, a personal website is the landing place for your story and past work. It’s a step up from LinkedIn and is a way to set you apart from other applicants. Most importantly, it’s fantastic practice for writing and sharing your story with potential employers and future collaborators.

In the words of one of the leaders of Creative Direction at Lyft, “I never hire anyone without looking at their website.”

We’ll use the time together to discuss: 

  • personal branding
  • how to write your content
  • what to include (and not include)
  • the best tools to build your site with no coding skills required

This free session will be held on Wednesday, June 30th at 2pm PDT / 4pm CDT. Reserve your spot here: https://explab.sas.upenn.edu/office-hours. 

We’re looking forward to meeting you!

This is not a UMBC sponsored event.

Dear UMBC Community,

We are pleased to announce plans for a phased reopening of the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery building to our UMBC users. We thank the dedicated Library & Gallery staff for their continued delivery of services to our community during the difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic, and join them in looking forward to welcoming the campus community back to the building!

Beginning July 6, 2021, the first and second floors of the Library & Gallery will be open, with some services requiring an appointment. All UMBC users will be able to access the building via card swipe for limited spaces and services such as the Retriever Learning Center or use of a library printer. UMBC users with campus ID also will be able to make appointments to enter the building to use a variety of library spaces, computers, and equipment. More information about the process for making appointments will be posted on the Library & Gallery’s website and myUMBC page in the coming days.

All Library & Gallery users must follow campus guidelines regarding safe on-campus behavior such as masking and physical distancing; symptom tracking; and testing. No eating is allowed in the library at this time.

As we have since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to offer remote services to assist you with your work, including virtual research appointments, “Ask a Librarian” chat service, virtual information literacy instruction, scanning of materials from our collections, interlibrary borrowing for books and media from our resource sharing partners, a virtual study room, and more.

Beginning August 16, 2021, the Library & Gallery building will reopen all seven floors for general study and computer use. Appointments may still be required for some services and areas. More information about fall semester services will be posted to the Library & Gallery website soon.

As we continue summer sessions at UMBC and plan for the beginning of the 2021-2022 academic year, we would like to both acknowledge our library colleagues who have worked nonstop since the library building was closed in March 2020, and sincerely thank them for their service to our campus community. Their efforts supported the continued teaching, learning, and research during this difficult time and they did an amazing job.

 

We look forward to welcoming our users back into the building this coming fall!

 

Thank you!
