It is my pleasure to welcome you to the University of Maryland Libraries. This is an exciting time for the University as it works with a strategic plan that challenges all of us to excellence, creativity and extraordinary service to our users. The Libraries will be active partners in this initiative to create the 21st century public university. We can do no less than be a national library leader in defining the collections, services and spaces that students and faculty need to succeed.

We invite you to use our services and explore our collections and resources – online and in the Libraries. In the Libraries it is “all about you!” Help us be all that we can. Challenge us, work with us, and be our supporters. Together we can move the Libraries to the next level of excellence – a level that will assure your rightful pride.
