The Library is NOT purchasing physical materials at this time. Staff working from home are unable to process these materials or make them available to patrons.

Faculty may request access to digital materials including ebooks and streaming media through one of two ways: 

• Discuss your needs with your department’s reference librarian, they will pass purchase requests on to the acquisitions department. 

• Send an email to libraryacq@umbc.edu with a detailed description of the items needed. 

Requested items should be critical to research and learning and needed immediately. All other materials should wait until the campus reopens. 

While we hope to be able to provide the exact items needed, it is often not possible. Please consider alternative resources. Consult the Libguides and your reference librarians for assistance.
