Within the last few days, some USMAI (non-SMCM) patrons may have received a fine notice email from St. Mary’s College Maryland. Some of these notices are for old fines that shouldn’t have migrated to our new system. This is a consortium-wide issue, please know that we are aware of this and we are working to resolve this issue in a timely manner.
