Q. How do I access books located in the UMCP HBK Maryland Room?

Books with the location UMCP HBK Maryland Room in the online catalog are located in the Maryland Room in Hornbake Library at the University of Maryland College Park. The Maryland Room is the reading room for Special Collections and University Archives. Researchers visit the reading room to view books and other material from our collections. Accordingly, these unique materials cannot be checked out since they are difficult (if not impossible) to replace.
