  • Attend a virtual performance or exhibit (some UMBC options: music and Arts at UMBC) 
  • Organize your study space or organize your class materials
  • Make a finals study plan- how do you plan to organize your study time? Don’t forget to include short breaks :) 
  • Share a study tip for fellow Retrievers 
  • Do a coloring page--if you don’t have one, try our Special Collections coloring book

Cold weather is coming, and the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery's popular curbside pickup service for books and equipment is moving indoors! 

Beginning November 1, Library staff will be happy to serve you at the main entrance to the Library building. During advertised curbside hours, the left-side front exterior door will be unlocked. Just look for the "curbside" signs, call us at 410-455-2354 when you arrive, and you will find your requested materials on a table inside the vestibule. Grab your stuff and away you go!

The Library & Gallery, including the Atrium and Retriever Learning Center, remain closed to users for the fall semester for the safety of our staff and users.

Instructions for placing requests can be found on our Curbside Pick-up Service page: https://library.umbc.edu/curbside-pickup.php. You will receive an email when your item is available (excludes A/V equipment from the Digital Media Lab), at which time you may use our online calendar to schedule your pick-up appointment. If you have questions, contact our Circulation Department at 410-455-2354 or email us at circlib-group@umbc.edu.

There are three curb-side locations for library materials* drop-off through Friday, May 22:
      - Center Road at Erickson Hall
      - Poplar Road at True Grits
      - Front entrance to Apartment Community Center

*Books, DVDs, CDs & DML equipment.  You are able to return books, CDs, and DVDs from all USM libraries.

Please return laptops to the UMBC Police station, which remains open.

You will not be charged a late fee, even if you have received an overdue or

cancelled. This amnesty will be in effect for a few months.

This message applies only to students who have scheduled a move-out time
with Residential Life.  General return of library material is not available

Welcome to the all online environment! The Library has many ways to provide research assistance and other help during the emergency and there are some things you should know:

THE BAD NEWS

  • The library building is closed, no one allowed in or out, including the atrium and RLC. This means no books, reserves, media, laptops, or DML equipment is available for check-out, and USMAI borrowing and Interlibrary Loan are not operating.

THE GOOD NEWS

  • For information about library services currently available please see https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/library/posts/91400. 

  • We request that you hold on to all Library materials for the time being. Fines and fees for currently checked-out material are suspended for the duration. Automatic messages may still go out, so if you are worried about an item being overdue, email the Circulation Department at circlib-group@umbc.edu. 

  • Reference staff are available in chat from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Look for the “Ask a Librarian” box at the edges of the library homepage. Questions asked before or after chat hours will be answered by email.

  • Online research appointments are available and can be scheduled on the Library webpage: Research Help > Make an Online Appointment.

Library hours and services are in flux due to campus planning for COVID-19 (coronavirus). Please stay tuned to MyUMBC or the Library & Gallery website for the most recent information and hours.

All Library & Gallery events are canceled until at least April 6, per University policy. 

For research assistance, we encourage our users to contact us via email or our Ask a Librarian chat service.
 
Students and instructors with materials on course reserve:  some physical reserves materials may be available in our catalog as e-books, on sites that allow streaming of media items, or are accessible via the public domain. If the item is not available electronically, the Reserves (or ILL) staff, upon request, may be able to digitize assigned readings from items on Course Reserves and post to Blackboard. We are unable to reproduce content from a disc. Please allow a minimum of five business days for requests to digitize course materials. Staff will prioritize requests by the assignment due date whenever possible.

For requests to digitize course readings, please obtain the name and number of the course and share the digital copy with the Reserves staff (reserves-group@umbc.edu).

For inquiries regarding due dates and fines, nothing will become due from Sunday March 15th through Sunday March 22nd.  All USM libraries will be lenient with fines if campuses close post March 22nd. Note that some short-term loan items may become due whenever the owning library is open.  Patrons do need to be mindful of honoring such due dates – i.e. course reserves, and media items and equipment.
