If you have a call number for an item that you are interested in, then you can search for similar materials that have been assigned similar call numbers. Call number browse includes all UMD Libraries and locations. So, the items that appear in a search may be physically located on the same shelf. Or, they may be physically located in a different library or location.
You must choose a call number type from these four options:
Library of Congress call numbers: Most items at UMD are assigned this type of number.
Dewey call numbers: We use this type of call number for Caldecott and Newbery Award Medal and Honor Books. Their call numbers begin with “810”. Some older juvenile books also have Dewey call numbers. Since 2010, we have been assigning Library of Congress call numbers to nonfiction, juvenile works.
NLM call numbers: Although this is an option, we don't have collections that are assigned this type of number.
SuDoc call numbers: We use this type of call number for government information from the Federal Depository Library Program.
Some of our collections use a local call number scheme that is not available in this list. Items in many of these collections cannot be browsed via Call Number Browse.
For example, if you want to find resources on the history of Paris between 1815 and 1870, then you can choose "Library of Congress call numbers" and type "DC733", which is the call number for that subject.
In the bottom right corner, you can use the two arrows to navigate to the next page and previous page of call number results in order to find more materials related to your interests.
The search bar includes a “Search by voice” microphone icon to the left of the “search” button. Select this icon and allow ExLibris to access your microphone. Then, you can search for items by voice.
The default voice search language is English. But, you can also select Spanish, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese as voice search languages.
The Top Textbooks search filter is useful if you are enrolled in any of our most popular courses and the textbooks for your course are part of the Top Textbooks program.
In the search bar, search for your course ID or the title of the textbook for your course. Choose the “Top Textbooks” option in the drop-down menu. For example, if you search “CHEM231”, then you will find all of the textbooks used in CHEM231.
Note: Do not type any spaces in "CHEM231" or any course ID. If you type "CHEM 231", then you will not get search results.
You can also search the Top Textbooks filter within the Advanced Search screen.
You can also search for Top Textbooks from the Quick Links section on the UMD Libraries' homepage.
After clicking on "Top Textbooks Available", you will be directed to the Find Textbooks and Other Course Materials page. Here, you can search for your course textbooks in the Top Textbooks search bar to find book information and availability. You can search by title, course ID, or other keywords.
You can also view every top textbook by clicking "Apply" without typing any information in the search bar.
UMD Discover offers multiple options to export citation data to the citation manager of your choice. There are ways to export single records, select records on the search results page, the first page of results, the first 50 results, and the entire set of results.
If you hoping to connect EndNote to library's system you can find the configuration file information below.
On the search results screen the first option you see is to export the citation to a .ris file, the standard file format for citation managers. Clicking on this option allows you to download the file.
The last option, an ellipsis, displays more export options:
These options include the option to export to Mendeley, which requires a Mendeley account to work. You can also get a permalink to share or create a bibliographic citation in the style of your choice. Finally, you can email the record or print a hard copy of the record.
If you click on a record on the search results page and go into the full view, you will find the same export options available to you.
There are multiple methods for exporting citation data for multiple records. You can export a selection of results, the first page of results, the first 50 results, or the entire result set. These options only work for a single search. If you're interested in exporting citations from multiple, you can use lists and saved searches and export records from within that menu.
To select multiple records on the search results page, simply click on the check box in the top left corner of each result.
Once you have selected the records you want, you can click on the ellipsis in the top right corner and then select the export option of your chance. Please note, UMD Discover does not save your selection if you go to another page, so you'll either have to go page by page or create a list.
There are several different ways to export multiple records at a time. If you want to export the records for everything on the page you're viewing, you can select the box in the top left corner and then click on the ellipsis button to select how you want to export them.
When you select multiple records, you'll notice that a box appears at the top of the page with additional options: select 50 records and export all records.
If you choose to select 50 records, the system will select those records. You'll notice that the number of selected records has changed to 50, and you can then use the ellipsis button to export the records.
The export all results option allows you to export the citation data for all the search results as an .ris file. After you select the export all results option, a dialogue box will open. Type your email address into the "to" field and then you can hit send. You can also add a note if you desire.
