Within the last few days, some USMAI (non-SMCM) patrons may have received a fine notice email from St. Mary’s College of 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 it in a timely manner.
For the latest information and updates on this issue, please regularly monitor the Hilda C. Landers Library blog.
