Reference Assistance

Reference assistance can be an indispensable resource. UMUC librarians provide help to students, faculty, and staff in a variety of ways, including:

  • recommending resources to use to find information on specific topics
  • assisting in narrowing down or broadening research paper topics
  • offering tips for searching databases and the Internet
  • helping with accessing databases from home or work
  • assisting in finding full text information
  • providing factual data to answer specific questions

You can call the ILS librarians at 301-985-7209, 301-405-9115, or 1-800-888-UMUC (8682) x7209, send an e-mail to library@umuc.edu, or chat live with a reference librarian. See the Getting Help section of the ILS Web page at www.umuc.edu/library for more details about services, locations, and hours.
