The UCF print collection contains over 1.5 million volumes. If you laid them end to end, they would stretch 213 miles – 5 trips to the Magic Kingdom!

“I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely…”
Yes, I’m going Joyce Kilmer on you. It’s National Poetry Month. How could I not start with the opening of a poem we all learn in primary school?
The Academy of American Poets, inspired by the success of Black History Month and Women’s History Month, created National Poetry Month in 1996. It is the largest literary celebration in the world and UCF Library is proud to do our part.
We gathered suggestions for 20 books of poetry that are currently in the UCF collection. These works represent a wide range of favorite poetry books of our faculty and staff. Click on the link below to see the full descriptions and catalog links.
The UCF Libraries needs your help to improve our services to transfer students. We got to meet some of you at our regional campus partners, and want to make sure to do our best to meet your unique needs.
If you are a transfer student who is over 18, we’d like to ask you to take 10 minutes to respond to this survey.
A second phase of our research will involve face to face interviews, and you’ll be asked if you’d like to participate in those at the end of the survey. This interview should take approximately 30 minutes, and you’ll receive a sweet treat for your time.
Restrooms on the 3rd floor in the “back half” of the building will remain closed for renovation.
Starting Monday night, 3/20, the “Student Union side” of the 4th floor of the John C. Hitt Library will be closed for the installation of sprinklers. Materials in call numbers N through QP will be inaccessible, but can be requested online, please see a staff member for assistance. Items will be retrieved several times daily, and can be picked up at the Circulation Desk. It is estimated that this work will be completed around 5/1/17. Over the next months the entire building will be fitted with fire sprinklers as part of the ongoing work on the 21st Century Library project.
Work continues on the study area of the 5th floor. When completed, the area will offer students a bright, new, space for silent, individual study, research, reflection, and coursework.
More information about the 21st Century Library project is at: http://library.ucf.edu/21st/ You can check there for any work alerts. Earplugs remain available at the Circulation Desk.
