Collection Connection News
What is new to the UCF libraries collection?
The UCF Libraries Awarded two Technology Fee Grants!
The UCF Libraries is focused on providing the best collections possible. In an effort to meet that goal, Acquisitions & Collection Services submitted two successful 2012 UCF Technology Fee proposals. The first proposal submitted was for Alexander Street Press Streaming video collections. The collection consists of 12,743 videos across ten subject areas that support the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The second proposal focused on replacing selected VHS with DVD. The need to replace VHS developed when university policy removed VHS players from the classrooms. Currently, the library has purchased and processed over 200 DVDs with Technology Fee funding, with an additional 150 expected to arrive. All DVDs are available for check-out on the third floor of the main library. As for Alexander Street Press Streaming Video, the library plans to implement that into the collection Fall 2013.
Recently Purchased Database!
The UCF Libraries recently purchased the database Sabin Americana, 1500-1926. This is an online digital collection of books, pamphlets, serials, and other works about the Americas, from the time of their discovery to the early 1900’s. The collection covers a span of 400 years of North, Central, and South American primary source materials. This is an essential tool for studying the Western Hemisphere and all materials are located in a convenient, fully searchable digital archive. The collection is filled with primary sources critical to understanding the society, politics, religious beliefs, literature, customs, and events of the time.
Book Sale Update!
The John C. Hitt Library hosted its final annual book sale on November 13th & 14th of 2012. Books were priced no higher than $1.00 each and it earned the library approximately $1,400.00, nearly doubling that of the previous fall sale. All funds collected will be used to support special interests within the library. A big THANK YOU to everyone who bought books!!
