BreakingGround Info Session for Faculty and Staff
Friday, March 1, 2024, 12 - 1 PM
Hosted by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life 

The BreakingGround initiative awards grants of up to $2,500.00 to UMBC faculty, staff, and students to implement educational and community-building courses and programs that foster civic agency: the capacity to initiate and make meaningful contributions to social change.

In this virtual information session, we will review the program and answer your questions. To register for this session, go to the Center for Democracy and Civic Life's event here. 

The options for using these funds are flexible, but some ideas include: experiential learning opportunities for students, student and community-engaged research projects, time to design deep transformations of existing curricula to be oriented toward civic agency, and resources for engagement with social changemakers and local communities. For a list of previous awardees, see here.


For more information and to apply, visit our website at this link. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis, and when you apply, we will contact you within two weeks of submission.

As part of our ongoing commitment to security, the Unix Infrastructure group will be conducting its quarterly system patching on Friday, February 23rd and Saturday, February 24th.  While many of the systems will be patched without any service disruption, there are some systems which require the downtime of key services.  The schedule below outlines which key services will be offline and for how long.

Friday, 02/23/2024 between 5pm and 10pm (most systems will only be down for a short period during this time):

  • Access to Cyrus (legacy) email (accounts not migrated to UMBC Gmail)
    • All mail will be queued up and delivered after the server is patched
  • All HFS (afs) servers - gl.umbc.edu home directories will be offline
  • Between 9:00pm and 10pm only: Certain software licenses will be unavailable (autodesk, cadence, idl, schrodinger, xilinx, mathematica). 
  • Between 9:00pm and 10pm only: The web hosting environments (virthost) will be partially unavailable (pages will be available but any database calls will not work)
  • Between 5:00pm and 6:30pm only: LDAP-Master and Webadmin will be taken down for system maintenance.  During this time account creations and password changes will be unavailable.  Account authentication and logins will not be affected.
Saturday, 02/24/2024 between 7am and 9am (most systems will only be down for a short period during this time):
  • myUMBC lite page will be up resulting in reduced myUMBC functionality
  • wiki will be down for a short time for some pages


Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions.

Thanks!

UMBC and all USMAI Libraries to migrate to Ex Libris' Alma and Primo systems over Spring 2024

This spring, UMBC along with the 17 libraries across the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI) will be implementing a new integrated library system (ILS), Alma, that will go live on May 23, 2024. Throughout the spring, our migration task force will be working to replace the current system, which has been in place for over 20 years.


An integrated library system manages the basic functions of a library, such as checking library materials in and out, keeping track of orders and subscriptions, and providing the infrastructure that allows library users to search and access library materials. This system migration is a huge step forward, and will help modernize UMBC's current functionality and usability, increasing cooperation with other systems across our campus and with other academic institutions across the state. 


A new discovery service will power the AOK OneSearch, and it will streamline search functions and your access to local resources and scholarly research. You will notice more features that will allow you to more easily manage your loans, requests, and citations. Keep an eye out for a preview of the search interface in the coming months. 


We will be providing updates as the project continues throughout the spring especially with information on any temporary service changes or suspensions as the new system is prepared. If you have any questions please reach out to aok@umbc.edu
