The UMBC Library is interested in your thoughts on e-books. If you take a 10-minute survey you could win a $25 Amazon gift card.

This survey was previously conducted in Spring 2012 and Fall 2014 at the University of Maryland. We are re-running the survey at the 5-year mark, and expanding it to the UMBC community, to determine how use and opinions of e-books among students and faculty has changed since then, and how the two institutions might compare. This data will help all University of Maryland libraries make better decisions about how to build our book and e-book collections. All responses will be kept strictly confidential.

Take the Survey! http://go.umd.edu/ebooks2019

(And help us get the word out by sharing this announcement with your friends, colleagues, and students at UMBC.) The survey will close at 5:00pm on Monday December 9.

Minda Dentler, Business school student When Minda Dentler was a baby she contracted polio, which paralyzed her legs. Adopted by an American family, she grew up watching other kids run and jump. It wasn't until she was at university that she finally felt the wind through her hair -- and now she is an Ironman world champion. Dentler gives her Brief but Spectacular take on living with a disability.

https://youtu.be/DAS7SacuRHY

The captioned video is three and a half minutes covering her experience and spectacular journey from hating recess to loving the wind in her hair. The transcript is available here: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/brief/318333/minda-dentler

As we raise awareness about the intersection of Disability with campus life, UMBC has an Adaptive Sports Committee, which works with students and also hosts adaptive sports events like wheelchair basketball (see postings here: https://www.facebook.com/umbcadaptivesports). If you, or your student group are interested in participating, reach out to the organizer via yomiyuf1@umbc.edu for more details.

Learn more, and don't miss our horror film screening!
UMBC is supporting open access (free access) by participating in Open Access Week 2019. In addition to our horror film screening on Thursday, we'll be sharing information all week on open access and what it means for students, faculty, and the community at large.

Facts about open access:
  • Open access is a social good, enabling innovation via the open flow of information, and providing equitable access to knowledge regardless of income level.
  • Open access is fair to taxpayers. They support research with their tax dollars and shouldn’t have to pay again to access it.
  • Open access can save UMBC journal subscription dollars, making those funds available for other uses.
  • Many high-quality peer-reviewed journals are open access and many UMBC faculty publish in them.
  • The UMBC Faculty Senate has passed an Open Access Resolution recommending that UMBC faculty seek venues for making their works open access.
  • Open Access Textbooks, or Open Educational Resources, level the playing field for students who can’t afford high-priced textbooks.

For more information on open access, see the UMBC Open Access Guide.
