American history is a broad and varied topic. It ranges from the native inhabitants who formed communities here thousands of years ago to the creation of a new nation of states to the dreamers who immigrate to these shores today. It is a vast tract of information to cover, but it is important that we all learn about our past. As Edmund Burke said in Reflections on the Revolution in France, “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.”
The founders of the United States, beyond their faults and foibles, began this nation with a grand and noble sentiment of “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity….”
“We the people” is us. Join us this month as we explore our past to help ensure “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” applies to us all.

We’re midway through the summer semesters. With the compressed 12, 9 and 6 week terms things can get stressful. Why not take a thinking break to do a little binge watching? UCF Libraries has the complete seasons of many popular TV shows including several classics.
The UCF Libraries’ SPIE Digital Library subscription gives you full text access to journals and proceedings in optics and photonics. Did you know it also provides access to a growing collection of more than 13,500 presentations from SPIE conferences, including plenary and keynote presentations.

Because of the preliminary construction on the 1st floor, about 40% of print U.S. Documents are temporarily stored offsite and are completely inaccessible. The remaining materials are accessible for staff to retrieve for patrons, but the 1st floor is closed to the public through the end of September.
Our UCF Ask A Librarian service will attempt to verify the availability of specific items. They will pass along requests to Government Documents librarian, Rich Gause, for anything they cannot locate.
See the guide at https://guides.ucf.edu/govx for more information.
Thank you for your patience!
