Library of Congress / University of Maryland Libraries Partnership

What is the nature of this partnership?

The University of Maryland Libraries and the Library of Congress have forged a partnership, the aim of which is to facilitate access to on-site Library of Congress collections for University of Maryland faculty and students and to encourage the integration of the scholarly research materials from both libraries into the University of Maryland course curriculum.

How can I integrate Library of Congress resources into my course curriculum?

Faculty may contact the appropriate subject librarian to discuss how this partnership might benefit their courses. UMD librarians will work with faculty to identify appropriate collections and connect them with research librarians at the Library of Congress.
