Would you like to sneak a peak at your favorite professor’s personal bookshelf?
Think how a quote from one of your instructor’s hottest picks for new books might just earn you that better grade on your term paper!
The Langsdale Library now gives you a chance to read about some of your instructors’ favorite titles written within their discipline. University of Baltimore professors from various departments – including Public Administration, Accounting, History, and Criminal Justice – were asked to recommend both new and classic titles. The titles and call numbers, along with short reviews, can be found featured on our in-library promotional posters throughout the library. Look for the signs that say “SURVEY SAYS”. In future semesters, we will feature recommendations from other faculty members in different disciplines. If you are a faculty member interested in contributing your recommendations for future book promotions, please contact Brian Chetelat at the Langsdale Library, (410) 837-4234 or email at bchetelat@ubalt.edu.
