Library Services

The Stevenson University Library supports the students, faculty and staff of the SU community as they engage in research, teaching, and learning.

Library services can be accessed remotely through the library home page http://stevensonlibrary.org/ and at three convenient on-campus locations: Greenspring, Owings Mills and the Learning Commons on Owings Mills North. Whether students are working alone, reading recreationally, or studying with a group, they can find a place that meets their needs in the SU library.

Through scholarly subscription databases encompassing many disciplines, students enjoy remote access to more than 70,000 full-text magazine, journals, and newspapers, over 200,000 eBooks, high-quality images, and streaming video. OneSearch on the library home page makes it easy to search most of the library's resources using a single search box.

The Greenspring Campus library holds the bulk of our print and film collections. The Stevenson University Archives are housed in the GS library as well as a Children’s Collection for Education students. At the Owings Mills Library, print resources focus on programs of study in the Brown School of Business and Leadership such as law, business, and information technology. There is a browsing collection at both of these locations for leisure reading. The Learning Commons at Owings Mills North is an active, flexible space supporting collaborative work and interdisciplinary research.   

Stevenson University researchers have access to nearly one million volumes through the library’s membership in the Maryland Interlibrary Consortium (MIC). Students can request books from other academic libraries in MIC and the items will be delivered to SU campuses within 24-48 hours of request. Inter-library loan is also available.

Knowledgeable and friendly librarians stand ready to help Stevenson University students find reliable resources appropriate for their assignments. Research services are available in person, by phone, and electronically via text, chat, and email. Through AskUsNow, Stevenson students have live chat access to a librarian 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

During the regular semester, the Owings Mills Library opens at noon on Sunday, remaining open continuously until 8:00 p.m. on the following Friday, and during the day on Saturday. Close to the residence halls, the OM Library is a great place to study or do research.
