The UMUC librarians are eager to help faculty use the library
resources in any way they can. They offer faculty an online course
in how to use the online library, will work with faculty individually,
and they are willing to attend face-to-face classes to give students
tutorials on use of the library. In addition, they will arrange
copyright permissions for journal articles and make links to these
available within the Reserved Readings
