Some categories (e.g., Buildings and Grounds, Fraternities and Sororities, Student Organizations, and University of Maryland Affiliated Campuses) have been further subdivided into specific units.

Processing Information

Select categories are represented in the Libraries' online catalog. Individual catalog records for many university publications are also in the catalog. These records may be located by doing a call number search in the Classic Catalog beginning with the letters UPUB. You may also locate materials in the University Publications Collection by selecting the Advanced Search option in the catalog and limiting your search by "Named Collection" using the term "University Publications."
