The Cal Maritime Library is continually adding new materials t the collection. Take a look at our online collection of books added so far this year - you can sort by date, title, author or relevance, and search within the collection. Also check out our main Collections page to see what else is available through your library.
The Library will be closed Friday November 10, in honor of Veterans Day. We will be open regular hours on Sunday, November 12, 1400-2100.
What's ahead: The week of November 20, we'll be open as usual through Tuesday, November 21; open reduced hours 0900-1600 Wednesday, November 22; and closed Thursday, November 23 through Sunday, November 26 for the Thanksgiving holiday. We'll reopen with regular semester hours on Monday, November 27.
If your phone or laptop is low, we have Omnicharge portable chargers for checkout with AC, DC, USB-A and USB-C ports, and wireless charging. Find them on our equipment page, or just come to the Help Desk during open hours. While you're at it, take a look at our other equipment such as GoPros, calculators, laptops and protractors.
The chargers check out for 4 hours and need to be returned by library closing time each day.
Eek! What happened to the home page?
The Library has changed and updated its home page to make it easier for you to find and access what you need. All your favorite resources are still here, but your route to access them looks a bit different. We divided the page into three main content areas: Search & Browse; Help & Support; and Hours, Updates, & About Us. The Help & Support section provides easy access to services and collections based on your information needs.
We asked members of the Cal Maritime community for feedback on the previous home page, and we listened to your recommendations. We also made improvements to the usability based on best practices. We hope you enjoy the new experience.
A big shout out of gratitude to Kitty Luce, our Web Services Librarian, who made it happen! Thanks also go to Amber Janssen for conducting usability testing, and to Margot Hanson for creative and practical input. This update couldn't have happened without Joe Hilton and the University of Liverpool Library, who were generous with their code and their time.
