An Introduction to BARD 2.0
As we mentioned in our message dated April 15, 2025, BARD web users will be migrated to the new and improved BARD service. We hope you’ve had time to review the documentation describing the exciting new features of BARD 2. We’ve attached it here as a PDF document for your reference.
On Tuesday, May 6, your account will be migrated to the new BARD website. A one-time change in the login procedures is required to access the new site. The next time you log into BARD, on or after May 6, please follow the instructions below to access the new BARD 2 website. Please feel free to contact us at reference.desk@maryland.gov or 410-230-2443 if you have any questions or concerns.
