Cupcakes at Langsdale

Find the materials you need!

Welcome back to another semester!  The hunt for materials to supplement your learning is in full swing!

Do you need access to books and articles that are not available in Langsdale Library’s collection?

The Book and Document Delivery  Department  here in Langsdale Library provides Intercampus and Interlibrary Loan services for the UB community.  All you need is a valid Library ID to use these services.

If Langsdale does not have a book that you need, search the USMAI catalog for your title.  If it is available from another university system library, just select the REQUEST button and choose UB for your log-in and inter-campus delivery.

If you need books not found in the USMAI catalog or articles not available full text in our databases, a one-time registration allows access to your personal Interlibrary Loan account.  The FIND IT button in our catalog and databases provides the opportunity to place an ILL request from your search results. 

Both Inter-Campus and ILL books are picked up at the Langsdale Circulation counter.  Articles are received as PDFs and are desktop accessible through your ILL account.

Access to both of these services can be found on our new web page at http://langsdale.ubalt.edu and further information can be found at http://ubalt.libguides.com/badd

Good luck and have a productive semester!

Let them Eat (Cup)Cake!

The Langsdale Library invites all UB students to a cupcake party on Wednesday September 8, 2010. From 3pm until the cupcakes run out. And these are not any ordinary cupcakes, the library is serving gourmet cupcakes, from the hugely popular Iced Gems Creations, a mobile bake shop that makes a long list of tempting dessert cupcakes such as Chocolate Lava, Caribbean Coconut, Key West...a key lime pie in a cupcake, and the Scarlet O'Hara, a raspberry red velvet cupcake!

There will be games with prizes, including a Barnes and Noble bookstore gift card, and a chance to pose for your very own READ poster. Yes, you can be the star of your own library promotional poster just like the ones you've seen with celebrities from movies, music and sports. And you might just see that poster in the library in the near future. You can bring your own book or browse through our Leisure Reading collection to find the perfect book to pose with.

So come visit the library and join us on the 2nd floor for free food and fun, Wednesday September 8th.
