USMAI Catalog: Search over 4M print volumes available through our consortium USMAI (University System of Maryland & Affiliated Institutions Library Consortium). Use the ‘request’ button to order circulating physical books (and some DVDs) owned by member libraries. You'll be notified once the requested item is available for pick-up at the SMCM Library.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL): Access an additional umpteen million items through our ILLiad service. Use ILL to request journal articles, book chapters, and books that are not available through our Library or the USMAI Catalog. Articles and chapters are delivered electronically, with a turn-around time of less than 24 hours. First-time users must create an account to get started. Questions? Check out our Interlibrary Loan FAQs.
