Like many University Libraries, the University of Maryland Libraries faces multiple challenges in the effort to build and maintain collections and provide access to the resources needed to support the institutional research and teaching mission. The collection budget at UMCP, like many other institutions, has failed to keep up with the rising costs of the information marketplace.

One result of these budgetary constraints is that the Libraries' subscription to the Safari Tech Books Online will not be renewed. Access to the database will end July 1, 2018.

For alternative reference books on information technology, desktop applications and business, please check our online catalog. If you would like the Libraries to purchase a specific title, please use the online purchase form.

Please do not hesitate to contact Nevenka Zdravkovska (nevenka@umd.edu) with any questions or concerns.
