This year, UCF Libraries has moved forward with purpose while staying grounded in the services we provide. From the success of our community support to the growth of open education and digital scholarship, we have advanced our mission to connect people and ideas! To acknowledge that, we are proud to present the 2024-2025 Impact Report and celebrate all that the UCF Libraries has accomplished.

UCF Libraries has gained access to a major new expansion of primary source materials in the Adam Matthew collections. The Adam Matthew collections, a primary source database founded in 1990, are already a valuable resource for UCF faculty, students, and staff. This expansion adds a broad range of historical content covering multiple cultures and time periods.

Today, we are celebrating Kristine Shrauger, the Head of Document Delivery & Resource Sharing at the John C. Hitt Library.

Prior to coming to UCF, she worked as Head of Interlibrary Loan at the University of Arkansas and at the North Dakota State Library. Kristine has an immense history of ideation, service and user advocacy, allowing her to contribute to the libraries in a variety of ways.

We sat down with Kristine to learn a bit more about her and her work with the library!

Hello! My name is Alyssa Adkins, and I am a junior at the University of Central Florida working toward my bachelor’s in history. During the Fall 2025 semester, I was given the amazing opportunity to be the Processing Intern and work with UCF Libraries’ Special Collection & University Archives (SCUA) team. My work consisted of processing three collections: the Richard Crepeau U.S. Bicentennial collection, the UCF International Student Association collection, and the UCF Office of Global Perspectives & International Initiatives records. 

The University of Central Florida Libraries has appointed Chelsea S. Dinsmore as the new Associate Dean for Resources & Discovery. Chelsea brings more than two decades of leadership experience in digital collections, metadata innovation, and collaborative scholarship to the role, and will lead our effort to improve library resource access.
