Articles and Databases

Each university's library has different (sometimes overlapping) journals, databases, and web-based resources.  Use your institution's to access scholarly resources and publications, or make use of the USG/UMD resources when connected to the USG network.

Catalog Searching and Requesting Books

You can explore the USMAI shared catalog of library holdings using an interface custom to each school.  Please use the searches found on their homepages to request books and access your Library Account, to renew loans and check on the status of requests.

Note that you must use your home institution's search interface to place requests even if you want to request a USG book for pickup at USG; login credentials are unique to each institution.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Priddy Library, give us a call at 301-738-6020, or reach out via online reference chat during our standard operating hours!
