Library Update

New Stateside Student and Faculty ID Cards for Fall 2005 This fall, UMUC will issue new ID cards to all stateside students and faculty members. The ID card will be attached to a letter that students and faculty members will receive prior to the start of classes. The new card is required for accessing UMUC services including those of the library and computer labs. When you receive your letter, be sure to detach the ID from it and carry it with you. The new stateside ID cards replace all previous ID cards issued by UMUC and are valid for the fall 2005 semester only. UMUC students, faculty and staff have access to and borrowing privileges at all libraries of the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI). Your barcode number on your ID card can be used to access UMUC's library databases and to request books from the USMAI libraries. For stateside patrons, your barcode number is required to use DocumentExpress to obtain journal articles not available in full text online or books from non-USMAI libraries. Beginning in the fall, UMUC library patrons will also have the ability to look up their barcode number in the MyUMUC Portal. UMUC employees will continue to use their current UMUC ID card. If you are a student or faculty member and also an employee, the barcode on your new ID card should be identical to the one on your employee ID card. You will be able to use either card to check out books from USMAI libraries. UMUC-Asia and UMUC-Europe division students and faculty will continue to use their current access method for databases and DocumentExpress. Beginning in spring 2006, UMUC will move to a self-service mechanism for retrieving your ID card from the MyUMUC Portal. You will receive more information and instructions on how to retrieve your ID prior to the start of the spring 2006 semester. If you have any questions about these or other library services or resources, please see the Information and Library Services Web site or call 800-888-UMUC, ext. 7209, during scheduled hours or 800-295-2084 after hours. Library Database Additions The library has added six new full text databases. These databases cover subjects such as criminology, psychology, business, sociology and the social sciences. SAGE Full text Collections: Criminology PsychBOOKS PsychEXTRA D & B Business Ratios SocINDEX PAIS Archives Each database indexes a variety of sources and include many resources in full text. For detailed descriptions of the databases, including coverage dates and subjects indexed, please visit our Library Databases and E-Journals Web site. Enhanced Interlibrary Loan Service: DocumentExpress This summer our interlibrary loan service received a makeover and a new name: DocumentExpress. After clicking on the DocumentExpress link under the "Get it Delivered" section on the Information and Library Services Web site, you will be directed to a login screen. From here, you will not only be able to submit an interlibrary loan request for books and articles not available through USMAI but also be able to monitor the status of your request. This new service allows you to view the progress of your request from the day it is placed to the day it is delivered. While the look has changed, the same quality service ILS has always provided to obtain full text articles, book chapters and books will remain the same.
