What faculty need to know

Faculty, please note that OneSearch impacts links to the old library catalog. Any links in your syllabi or Blackboard that pointed to the old system should be updated. The new system provides even greater integration with UMBC’s collections and those of USMAI libraries, ensuring that your students have access to a broader range of resources. Visit our Guide to Course Reserves or contact our course reserves librarian (reserves-group@umbc.edu) for assistance with updating your course materials to reflect these changes.
