Tips for New Students
October 14, 2024With the fall semester in full swing, the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HSHSL) would like to share some tips to help you get the most out of your time at UMB.
- Need to study with a group, or just want to have a space to shut out distractions? You can reserve study rooms throughout the second and third floors. No reservations are needed for other library study spaces.
- Want a fast and easy way to access the full text of articles through the library? Add the LibKey Nomad extension to your browser. Select University of Maryland, Baltimore as your organization and you are good to go.
- Need help? Our Information Services staff are here for you. Visit in person at the desk on the first floor, call 410-706-7995, or use the online chat to get assistance with searching databases, locating items, scanning documents, and more. Go to the Ask Us! page to use the online chat or view answers to frequently asked questions.
- Want to learn a new skill, or need a refresher on a resource you haven’t used in a while? Visit our YouTube channel to view video tutorials on topics ranging from literature searching in PubMed to citation management using Zotero. For more in-depth research help, you can request a consultation with a librarian.
- Forgot your charger and your electronic device is about to die? Use our first-floor charging station, located near the restrooms. These secure lockers contain cords compatible with various devices.
