The Library has started to include featured collections of books, media and other items on our website. Some of these collections have a theme and are linked to a library display, while others let you know about new books or other permanent collections. Each collection is searchable and can be sorted by date, title, author or relevance. The collections also include images of most of the book or DVD covers. Our collections so far are:
We're planning to add more as we go along, so watch this space!
Dear Cal Maritime community,
On Wednesday, September 8, Cal Maritime Library employees were alerted that a swastika had been carved into one of the Library tables. The Library has reported the anti-Semitic vandalism to the Department of Human Resources, Diversity & Inclusion and they are conducting an investigation.
The Cal Maritime Library condemns this symbol of Nazi hate and the intolerance that it represents. Anti-Semitism is often connected to other hatreds, such as homophobia, racism, sexism, and xenophobia, and we reject bigotry in all its forms. Actions which implicitly or explicitly threaten any community member threaten all of us. This incident occurs at a time when other derogatory vandalism has affected the campus community, and none of these ideologies should have a home on our campus.
The Library is committed to providing a welcoming environment that is safe and inclusive for all community members, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. We affirm the California State University Policy on Discrimination and Harassment, which states that “The California State University (CSU) is committed to maintaining an inclusive community that values diversity and fosters tolerance and mutual respect.”
We want to be sure you know how to report incidents and concerns, and how to seek help for yourself or someone else:
Report an Incident: You can contact the University Police Department or use the Incident Reporting link on the Corps of Cadets website to report incidents, including hate crimes and vandalism.
Coping Resources: We encourage you to make use of the resources offered by CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services). CAPS is available to assist you with confidential counseling free of charge.
Signed, the Cal Maritime Library

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.
