Library Resources

CLIS students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to use the UM Libraries resources. The libraries system provides access to ILL, course reserves, electronic databases (through ResearchPort), as well as over 3 million books.

Our contact in the libraries is Karen Patterson, Information Studies Librarian. Students may contact her to schedule in-depth research appointments. CLIS faculty may contact her for library instruction and orientation. Karen’s email address is kpatter@umd.edu.
