University of Maryland Libraries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The University of Maryland Libraries constitute the largest public research library in the state of Maryland. Seven libraries are located at University of Maryland, College Park campus, plus an additional library and media center located off-campus in Shady Grove.

The UM Libraries support research by students, scholars, and the public. The Libraries feature over 3 million volumes, more than 50,000 journal titles, numerous archives and special collections and a host of technological resources which enable remote online access to the Libraries' holdings and services.

Currently, Maryland's libraries are considered to be below the standards set by the university's own designated peer institutions - UCLA and University of Michigan are two such schools. Further compounding this problem is a cut in the budget of the libraries at the school. [1] The university's student newspaper, The Diamondback, has criticized this decision. [2]
