If you have created lists of saved items and/or saved searches under your library account, they will NOT be transferred over to our new library system.
Before May 23, 2024 – You will need to download and/or send them to your own email account!
Instructions for downloading and sending your ‘saved searches’ & ‘saved items’ to your email can be found here.
***Regarding saved items within My EBSCOhost account***
Saved searches, alerts or citations within a My EBSCOhost account will no longer be available in the updated OneSearch, but will still be available in individual EBSCO databases, such as Academic Search Ultimate.
Starting April 1, 2024, incoming loans of physical books (and any other physical material) from non-USMAI libraries will no longer be listed in the patron My Account feature of the current USMAI Catalog system.
Patrons will still be able to see all of their non-USMAI loans on their Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad) account.
After June 1, 2024, incoming loans of physical books (and any other physical material) from non-USMAI libraries will be included in the “My Account” feature of the new library system.
In an effort to minimize any disruptions to our patrons and their accounts during our upcoming library system migration this summer, beginning March 1, 2024, General Collection books checked out or renewed will have a due date of August 1, 2024. All current due dates of 5/01/2024 will remain.
Renew items in person at the Circulation desk or online at http://catalog.umd.edu/patron=go

The Hilda C. Landers Library, along with the 17 libraries across the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI) consortium, will be implementing a new integrated library system. The new system will go live on May 23, 2024. Throughout the spring, our migration team is working to replace the current system, which has been in place for over 20 years.
An integrated library system manages the basic functions of a library, such as providing the infrastructure that allows library users to search for and access library materials, checking library materials in and out, and keeping track of orders and subscriptions. This system migration is a huge step forward, and will help modernize the Library’s current functionality and usability.
The updated OneSearch, which will replace the current catalog, will streamline search functions and your access to local resources and scholarly research. You will notice more features that will allow you to more easily manage your loans, requests, and citations.
We will be providing updates as the project continues, especially with information on any temporary service changes as the new system is prepared in the lead up to the go live date. More information about the look, feel, and functionality of the new system will be shared throughout the summer and into the fall.
If you have any questions please reach out to our migration team lead, Kat Ryner.
