If you take a 10-minute survey you could win a $25 Amazon gift card.

This survey was previously conducted in Spring 2012 and Fall 2014 at the University of Maryland. We are re-running the survey at the 5-year mark, and expanding it to the UMBC community, to determine how use and opinions of e-books among students and faculty has changed since then, and how the two institutions might compare. This data will help all University of Maryland libraries make better decisions about how to build our book and e-book collections. All responses will be kept strictly confidential.

Take the Survey! http://go.umd.edu/ebooks2019

(And help us get the word out by sharing this announcement with your friends, colleagues, and students at UMBC.) The survey will close at 5:00pm on Monday December 9.

Learn more, and don't miss our horror film screening!
UMBC is supporting open access (free access) by participating in Open Access Week 2019. In addition to our horror film screening on Thursday, we'll be sharing information all week on open access and what it means for students, faculty, and the community at large.

Facts about open access:
  • Open access is a social good, enabling innovation via the open flow of information, and providing equitable access to knowledge regardless of income level.
  • Open access is fair to taxpayers. They support research with their tax dollars and shouldn’t have to pay again to access it.
  • Open access can save UMBC journal subscription dollars, making those funds available for other uses.
  • Many high-quality peer-reviewed journals are open access and many UMBC faculty publish in them.
  • The UMBC Faculty Senate has passed an Open Access Resolution recommending that UMBC faculty seek venues for making their works open access.
  • Open Access Textbooks, or Open Educational Resources, level the playing field for students who can’t afford high-priced textbooks.

For more information on open access, see the UMBC Open Access Guide.

The Media Booking Form will not be available as of January 2020.

Faculty and staff may place a hold on any media item (DVDs, CDs, VHS) through its catalog record—just click on the yellow ‘request’ button and follow the prompts to create a hold request (see attached screenshot for an example). Specific pick-up dates are not available; however, hold requests are fulfilled on a daily basis and housed at the Check Out desk for 10 days.

We encourage all faculty to begin using the catalog request system before January. Please direct any questions to mediastaff-group@umbc.edu.
