Information Literacy For One And All

The UCF Libraries has created a new department on the main campus:  Information Literacy and Outreach (ILO).  The new department will have three main areas of responsibility:   coordination and planning of the Libraries' instructional services, including support of the university's Information Fluency (IF) Quality

Director's Cut Makes A Great Donation Opportunity

With the imminent opening of the new School of Film & Digital Media many of the Libraries' movie collection, especially DVD's, are leaving us.  Help us rebuild our movie collection by donating duplicate copies of DVD's from your home collection.  A good and well advertised movie collection will be sure to increase foot traffic through the various library buildings, inevitably increasing the use of our computers, study rooms, subscription databases and, of course, books.

Bring your old duplicate movies to the Circulation Desk on the second floor of the main library building.  Your donation will be cataloged and added to our movie collection.  Don't forget to fill out the gold donation form.  After completing the form, you will receive an acknowledgment letter and the donor may take a tax deduction for the estimated price.  This is an ideal way to donate to the Libraries' collection and a great way to keep all of the rest of the students, faculty, and staff who use our video collection, depending on the genre of movie, well informed and entertained.

Support your UCF Libraries

Giving to the library is easy.  Go to our Make a Gift page, complete the form at the bottom of that page, and someone from the library will contact you.  If you would like to send a check, you can mail it to the address below.  Your gift will be appreciated and used to directly affect the education and research of our students and faculty.
