Acquisitions & Collection Services

Staff Members

A network of 20 librarians work cooperatively with the classroom faculty to build collection which support the UCF's research and teaching needs. Each academic department has a faculty representative and a librarian, designated as the Collection Development Liaison, assigned to select materials.

Suggestions for library materials can be made through a faculty representative, the librarian for the specific subject area, or Interlibrary Loan.
