Starting Tuesday June 19th, you may hear intermittent popping, banging, drilling and grinding noise as contractors begin construction of a temporary wall on the 1st floor of the John C. Hitt Library. The wall is the first step in a 16 month project to connect the current library building to the ARC. This phase of the project will include the new 2nd floor entrance to the building on the “Student Union side”, as well as new staff and user space.
Earplugs can be requested at the Circulation Desk. The new, 170 seat, 5th floor Quiet Study Zone is almost complete and is open for student use. It is located at the front of the building, away from the construction noise. Some of the noise may be detected from there, but it should be quieter.
Pardon our dust. Thank you, Knights, for your patience. Charge on.
Free webinar: Making academia–industry collaborations work
Research collaborations are increasingly important. Focusing on the more practical applications of research, collaborations with industry partners, in particular, are becoming commonplace. While these collaborations can be extremely fruitful, there are many pitfalls to avoid. To learn more, attend Elsevier’s Researcher Academy webinar Making academia–industry collaborations work. You will hear from expert scholars with extensive experience in academia–industry collaborations.

Today marks two years since Orlando lost 49 members of its community to violence. If you or someone you know could use a hand dealing with the anniversary of this painful event, please reach out to someone by clicking this link. UCF has many resources to help our students and we want you to use them.
UCF also has many events this week to commemorate and remember those we lost. A list of those are available here and there is a list of events in Orlando here.
The following is a list of the names of those we lost.
UCF Libraries needs your help to design practical and useful workshops for student life. The survey, which will take about 8-10 minutes, will ask you about your study and research habits, as well as your experience using library resources and services. Your input will help us, help you. Take a few minutes of your time and follow this link: http://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b15YH23K8qLVNkx
Look for new Undergraduate Workshops coming in Fall 2018.

Pride Month has arrived! While every day is a time to be proud of your identity and orientation, June is that extra special time for boldly celebrating with and for the LGBTQIA* community (yes, there are more than lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender in the queer community). June was chosen to honor the Stonewall Riots which happened in 1969. Like other celebratory months, LGBT Pride Month started as a weeklong series of events and expanded into a full month of festivities.
In honor of Pride Month, UCF Library faculty and staff suggested books, movies and music from the UCF collection that represent a wide array of queer authors and characters. Additional events at UCF in June include “UCF Remembers” which is a week-long series of events to commemorate the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in 2016.
Click on the link below to see the full list, descriptions, and catalog links for the 20 titles by or about people in the LGBTQIA community suggested by UCF Library employees. These, and additional titles, are also on the Featured Bookshelf display on the second (main) floor next to the bank of two elevators.
*LGBTQIA represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex and asexual. The acronym is continually evolving, and the term queer is frequently used to be all inclusive and welcoming.
