Logistics

Venue

All sessions will take place in McKeldin Library Room 6107, which can be found on this floor plan.

Travel

The Libraries have posted driving directions for getting to campus. In addition, a comprehensive overview of travel options is available from the campus office of conference and visitor services. Once you have arrived on campus, this campus map will help you locate the library (D10 - #035 ). There is a College Park metro stop on the green line, which is served by shuttle bus #104 to campus approximately every 10 minutes.

Parking

There is ample parking on campus for a daily maximum of $15.00. A covered guest lot that is convenient to the Library is the Regents Drive Garage (#202 on the map mentioned above). There is a large swim event taking place on North Campus which will take over a lot of central and northern guest parking. UMD Department of Transportation Services recommends that attendees arriving by car park in either the Mowatt Lane Garage (rooftop) or Lot MV next to Mowatt Lane Garage (D12 - #404 on the map). Additional parking may be available in the Stadium Drive Garage (C8 - #218), but this garage may become crowded due to the swim meet. All visitors should avoid attempting to park in the Union Lane Garage off Campus Dr (D9 - #179) since it is currently out of service and closed to the public.

An alternate parking option is to use the College Park Metro parking lot and to use the University of Maryland shuttle bus #104.

Full information on guest parking options is available on the conference and visitor services site. *Please note*: parking services is very vigilant and quick to ticket, so please make sure that you pay for your parking space at the pay station (look to the signage in the lots for instructions).
