Q. Do I have borrowing privileges at Big Ten schools as a UMCP student?

Hello. UMD Library Users can borrow items from any Big Ten university library.  They must check that they have an active UMD library account (see Borrowing Privileges page) prior to your trip and then use the BTAA Reciprocal Borrowers Application to authenticate access once at the other Big Ten library. 

Of course, UMD library users may also use Interlibrary Loan (again check your affiliation to see if you have UBorrow priviliges) to borrow items held by Big Ten libraries in the catalog. Visit our interlibrary loan page for further information. 

If you are uncertain about which universities belong to the Big Ten Academic Alliance, visit the Big Ten Academic Alliance's webpage for a detailed list.
