Langsdale Salutes UB Faculty Authors

Faculty members: did you know that you can browse a list of books authored by UB faculty available for loan at Langsdale? And did you know that they are showcased for all to see? Welcome to WorldCat lists!

WorldCat is the name of the software behind the catalog. You can access the software by clicking on the "Books" tab of Langsdale Library's Web site. In addition to the "traditional" catalog function of locating books and DVD's held by Langsdale and other libraries, WorldCat offers us the option of creating local lists of materials. The list of titles authored by UB faculty in Langsdale's collection is available at here.

In addition to browsing the WorldCat list, all published faculty searching Langsdale's catalog and finding the record for their book will see that they are listed as a UB faculty author:

Don't see one of your books in the catalog or on the WorldCat list? That means Langsdale doesn't own a copy. If you have one that you'd like to donate, we'd be delighted to add it. Contact Betty Landesman, head of Technical Services and Content Management, 410-837-4204, blandesman@ubalt.edu.

WorldCat Lists: Showcasing UB Authors and Langsdale Collections

If you missed the Faculty Authors celebration held at Langsdale on October 23 (or even if you didn't), you can browse a list of books authored by UB faculty and available at Langsdale by going to WorldCat Lists.

WorldCat is the name of the software behind the catalog accessed by clicking on the "Books" tab on Langsdale's web site. In addition to the "traditional" catalog function of locating books and DVD's held by Langsdale and other libraries, WorldCat offers the option of creating local lists of materials. To showcase UB authors and some commonly sought-after materials in Langsdale's collection, we have created lists of the following:

• UB Faculty Authors
• UB Alumni Authors
• UB Fraud Library
• UB Leisure Reading
• UB Games
• UB DVDs

Each WorldCat List can hold only 500 titles, so unfortunately we couldn't have a single list of all our DVDs. You'll find those lists subdivided by date.

You can find all the Langsdale lists here.

If you would like to see a list we haven't thought of, suggestions are welcome. Contact Betty Landesman, Head of Technical Services and Content Management at Langsdale Library, 410-837-4204, blandesman@ubalt.edu.

Faculty Authors 2013

Every two years, Langsdale Library and the Office of the Provost recognize the book publishing accomplishments of our faculty. This year, Faculty Authors is on Wednesday, October 23, from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., at Langsdale, on the second floor. Light refreshments will be provided at the start, with remarks by Provost Joe Wood beginning at 4 p.m. Each faculty member with a book publication since the last event will be recognized with a framed copy of their book cover. Langsdale also will keep one framed copy to display in the library. The event is free and open to the entire UB community.

Check out books by faculty authors in our catalog. We're always adding to the list!
