Updating Your Contact Information

Haven’t received email notices or mailed correspondence from the University of Maryland Libraries? Verify and update your contact information with the instructions below.


The contact information that the Libraries have on record for you can be seen when you log into My Account – your online library account. Go to the Libraries’ home page at http://www.lib.umd.edu and click the my account link. Sign in with the 14-digit barcode from your university ID card and last name. Your mailing address and email address will appear on the first page. To update that information you need to do BOTH of the following

I. Contact a Library circulation desk to update your information in our system (UM Libraries Circulation Contacts)
                                                         AND
II. Change your information with your campus’s Registrar and/or Human Resources. For example, UMCP students, faculty and staff should use either Testudo or Ares to change  their official contact information (see below).

If you are a UMCP student:

    1.    Go to the Registrar’s page on Testudo*: http://www.testudo.umd.edu/Registrar.html
    2.    Click on Change Address/E-mail
    3.    Sign in with your Directory ID and password
    4.    Update your email address
    5.    Update your permanent and local addresses (if both are filled in, the local address will receive mail from the Libraries)
    6.    Click Update Address Information and log out of Testudo

*TIP: If you misplace your 14-digit barcode number (that allows you to log into My Account and Research Port), you can select the View Your Student ID Barcode link in Testudo to retrieve it.

If you are a UMCP faculty or staff member:
    1.    Go to the ARES home page at http://www.ares.umd.edu
    2.    Click on the email address link at the top right to update your email and other contact information
    3.    Sign in with your Directory ID and password
    4.    Update your email address
    5.    Update your permanent and office addresses (if both are filled in, the office address will receive mail from the Libraries)
    6.    Click Update and go back to ARES and log out

NOTE: UMCP alumni and special borrowers need only to update their information at a UM Library circulation desk
