We do this by  teaching the skills and insights necessary to navigate the ever-changing  information landscape and ensuring access to resources, learning spaces  and technology.<\/p>\n<p>Even with access to resources in our collection and the  collections of ALL of the <a href=\"http:\/\/usmai.org\/\">University System of Maryland &amp; Affiliated Institutions<\/a> libraries, which is a vast amount of  information, we know that we will not be able to meet the information  needs of our scholars and researchers. The biggest library in the world  could never meet the information needs of every person.<\/p>\n<p>Librarians  recognize this conundrum and offer a free service to our users called <a href=\"http:\/\/proxy-ub.researchport.umd.edu\/login?url=https:\/\/ubalt.illiad.oclc.org\/illiad\/BAL\/illiad.dll\">Interlibrary Loan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When our scholars and researchers need information  that we do not have, typically a journal article or book, we will go get  that information from another library that has it, wherever they are in  the world. Langsdale library is also proud to share our collection with  libraries anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p>One of the behind-the-scenes  automation systems librarians utilize at Langsdale Library is called  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlas-sys.com\/illiad\/\">ILLiad<\/a>. ILLiad helps us to track all of our interlibrary loan  transactions. It greatly reduces staff time for processing requests  allowing our users access to the information they need quickly,  especially journal articles. <\/p>\n<p>Langsdale Library began using ILLiad  in the summer 2005. And on February 28th of this year we processed our  100,000th transaction since we started using ILLiad. This is a milestone  we are very proud to have achieved. <\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all of our users and library faculty and staff that made this milestone possible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Langsdale Library cultivates knowledge creation within members of campus, the Baltimore metropolitan area and beyond.
