The University Libraries support the mission of the university and work to ensure students and faculty of all disciplines achieve their academic goals. Seven libraries on campus serve the diverse needs of graduate students, and a helpful team of librarians provides subject-specific expertise and support. You can find your librarian by searching https://www.lib.umd.edu/directory/specialists. Collections range in format from online books and journals to archival manuscripts, photos and recordings. Thanks to the Big Ten Academic Alliance, researchers have easy access to the 100+ million books in the combined collections of the libraries of the Big Ten.
