New location to pick up your stuff starts November 1
Cold weather is coming, and the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery's popular curbside pickup service for books and equipment is moving indoors! 

Beginning November 1, Library staff will be happy to serve you at the main entrance to the Library building. During advertised curbside hours, the left-side front exterior door will be unlocked. Just look for the "curbside" signs, call us at 410-455-2354 when you arrive, and you will find your requested materials on a table inside the vestibule. Grab your stuff and away you go!

The Library & Gallery, including the Atrium and Retriever Learning Center, remain closed to users for the fall semester for the safety of our staff and users.

Instructions for placing requests can be found on our Curbside Pick-up Service page: https://library.umbc.edu/curbside-pickup.php. You will receive an email when your item is available (excludes A/V equipment from the Digital Media Lab), at which time you may use our online calendar to schedule your pick-up appointment. If you have questions, contact our Circulation Department at 410-455-2354 or email us at circlib-group@umbc.edu.

Scan Special Collections books yourself for free!

This post was written by Special Collections Student Assistant Jagruti Chinchwadkar.  


Special Collections is pleased to introduce the new Scannx Book ScanCenter to our researchers. Researchers will now be able to scan books and documents on their own and save it to their USB drive free of charge!

                               

The Scannx Book Scanner is a drop edge (or zero edge) scanner that allows you to scan documents flat or to scan bound materials like books without damaging the spine. Please show the items you wish to scan Special Collections staff who will evaluate the condition of the material.  If it’s not too fragile, we’ll show you how to do the scanning – it’s easy!



I have had the opportunity to use the Scanner and I found it user-friendly, quick and easy to use. Its large friendly buttons guide the user through scan process from choosing file formats, to scan quality, color depth, file naming and destinations. It has ample flatbed surface and every page comes back is crisp and clear. It provides high quality scans and converts scanned images into PDF, searchable PDF, Word, TIFF, or PNG file formats automatically. We’ll show you how to scan things without damaging them and making sure they stay in their proper order, and instructions for its use can also be found next to the workstation.  Make sure to bring your own USB drive!

Don’t have time for using the scanner?  Need scans of photographs? No need to worry, we can do it for you for a fee.

Special Collections is open Monday - Wednesday 1 - 4pm, Thursday 1 - 8pm and Friday 1 - 4pm, also by appointment Monday - Friday from 9:00am - 4:30pm. Contact: speccoll@umbc.edu | 410.455.2353

Thanks Jagruti!

The UMBC Albin O. Kuhn Library needs student input and leadership to assist with a #weneeddiversebooks campaign. 

They are interested in collaborating with students to put together displays, events, and other resources that highlight both the need for diverse perspectives in literature and the representation of such perspectives in our library.  They also hope to plan a kickoff event in coordination with the Baltimore Book Festival, which takes place Sept. 25-27, 2015 at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. 

If you are interested in participating and contributing to this campaign, contact Joanna Gadsby at gadsby@umbc.edu. 

The first meeting will take place very soon!
