Chapter 6: Using Library Resources
Libraries and Services
Types of Libraries
Academic libraries range from community college libraries, supporting two-year associate degree programs, to university research libraries, which support four-year undergraduate and graduate programs. Most colleges and universities permit the public to use library materials in-house but limit borrowing privileges to their students, faculty, and staff. At some academic libraries, you can purchase a borrower's card through a special borrower's or friends-of-the-library program. If you are located near an academic institution, inquire about privileges and services that may be available to you. As a UMUC student, you have access to the resources of the USM and affiliated institution libraries, including Morgan State University and St. Mary's College of Maryland.
