New! Free Article and Book Requests for UMB Faculty and Staff
We are pleased to announce that effective Tuesday, January 21, 2014, UMB faculty and staff will receive interlibrary loan and document delivery requests free of charge. UMB students were the first to benefit from these free services, beginning in 2009. Interlibrary loans are items borrowed from other libraries while document delivery refers to items that are held in the HS/HSL print collection.
Faculty and staff will continue to request materials through the ILLiad system, but the request form will be streamlined. For information about registering and using ILLiad, please visit the Request Articles and Books page on the HS/HSL website.
If you have any questions, please contact the Resources Sharing department at 410.706.3239 or by email.

Request a Research Consent Form Review
Are you an investigator preparing a research protocol submission to the IRB? This service may be of interest!
HS/HSL librarians serving on the UMB Institutional Review Board have noticed that many research consent forms are written above the recommended reading level for patients and are often confusing and difficult to understand. The Reference Department offers a service to review your consent form before it is submitted with your protocol. We will offer suggestions for simplified language and note key sections that need revision or are likely to be confusing for patients. We will return the form to you with these suggestions within three business days. You can submit your consent forms on the HS/HSL website (in the Assistance section).
If you have any questions, please contact the Reference Desk at 410-706-7995, hshsl@umaryland.edu.
