Our featured question for February 2021 is: “What do I do if the article/book I need isn’t available through UCF Libraries?”
Interlibrary Loan is the service for you! Does your article have the Request Item/See Options link? Have you searched the Books/Catalog for a title and it doesn’t come up in your search results? If so you can use the free service available to UCF students, faculty and staff. They can borrow a physical book for you from another library or get the PDF of an article.

“45 Years of Collecting: UCF Libraries’ Special Collections & University Archives” showcases the University of Central Florida (UCF) Libraries’ Special Collections & University Archives’ distinct collection. From a 13th century religious text to UCF memorabilia, the broad range of materials on display reflects the diverse nature of the department’s holdings. This exhibit, curated by department staff, highlights the collection’s evolution over the past forty-five years. While not every item exhibited is the most unique, most valuable, or most rare, they all are essential in telling the department’s history.
The exhibit runs from February 2021 through April 2021 in the new 4th floor Special Collections & University Archives’ Gallery in the John C. Hitt Library.

The gallery capacity is limited to 2 guests at any given time. All guests must wear a face covering and maintain at least 6 feet of physical distancing within the gallery space.
