AOK Library closing early Friday, August 11
Facilities Management has engaged an electrical contractor to repair the transformer that feeds the AOK Library & Gallery building.  To undertake the repair, all power to the building will be shut off.

Because the power is going off at 5:00 pm on Friday, August 11th, we are closing the library at 4:00 pm.  All staff and patrons should be out of the building by 4:00 pm on Friday the 11th.

The RLC will also close at 4:00 pm due to lack of power.  We anticipate that the RLC will be available again at 8am on Saturday the 12th.

Special Collections is excited to announce that processing of the Society of Protozoologists records (Collection 13) has recently been completed to include new materials. An updated record of the collection can now be viewed online.

The Society of Protozoologists records are among the holdings of the Center for Biological Science Archives (CBSA) at UMBC. The collection includes files that document the development and growth of the Society of Protozoologists (currently known as the International Society of Protozoologists) from its founding in 1947 to the 2010s.

New materials include correspondence, reports, meeting notes, publications, newsletters, media, photographs, and financial statements. The process included rehousing received materials into acid-free folders and boxes and integrating the materials into the existing collection.

Additionally, two new series were created out of existing and newly received materials. Series VII: Media, Photographs, and Artwork contains figures, photographs, and audio files produced or held by the Society of Protozoologists. And Series VIII: Committees contains correspondence and reports relating to the Society’s various committees including the Business Advisory Committee, the Constitution and By-Law Committee, and the Education Committee. In total the collection is now arranged in eight series: History; Executive Committee; Membership; Meetings; Publications; Affiliated Societies; Media, Photographs, and Artwork; and Committees.

The completion of this project is due to the help of Special Collections student assistants Graham Johnson and Riley Auer and graduate assistant Sarah Huston. To learn more about the Society of Protozoologists records or to view these materials, check out the new finding aid or stop by and view the collection in person at Special Collections!

Many thanks to Sarah Huston '17, who served as a graduate assistant in Special Collections from 2015-2017. Sarah assisted with the rehousing of the collection and wrote this post. Thank you, Sarah, we miss you! -- Lindsey Loeper, Archivist

What’s the next step? We’ve all been there - sometimes the date slips your mind, and next thing you know you’ve got overdue library books!  So what happens next?

First off: don’t panic!  The fine for late books is only $0.50 per day!  Other fines, like for DVDs and equipment, are a little higher.  You can check the full list of fine amounts here: http://library.umbc.edu/circulation.php#fees  

If you can’t get to the library immediately, try renewing the item.  You’ll still have the original fines, but you’ll stop accruing more.  (Note: not all items can be renewed.  For example, a recalled book cannot be renewed this way.  But it’s worth a try!)

When you’re ready to pay your fine, head to the Check Out Desk. Payment options are Campus Cash, credit card, or check. (Note: you can only pay your bill at the library for the first 30 days.  After that, the Student Business Office takes over.)

Do you have a question about your fine?  You can contact the Circulation Department for answers at 410-455-2354. If you would like to appeal a fine, please fill out the Library Fine Appeal Form.
