Hitt Maker Podcast Studio

Podcasts offer an easily accessible audio (and sometimes video) medium that caters to a wide range of interests. From news stories and interviews to sports analysis and literature reviews, podcasts are an incredibly convenient form of entertainment.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Hitt Family to UCF Libraries, a new space was created for UCF faculty, staff, and students to be able to record podcasts.

UCF Libraries Connect Librarian Andy Todd stands in from of the John C. Hitt Library on the main UCF Campus

7 Questions with Connect Librarian, Andy Todd!

Today we’re highlighting Andy Todd, a seasoned reference librarian at UCF. Andy is the UCF Connect Librarian at the EFSC/UCF Joint-Use Library on the Cocoa Campus. He’s also the go-to Subject Librarian for the UCF College of Nursing, where he collaborates closely with faculty to support scholarly research and teach students the ins and outs of research resources.

With a Master’s in Library Science from the University of South Florida and a Bachelor’s in Nursing from UCF, Andy’s expertise is well-respected among librarians and nurses alike! He’s passionate about providing top-notch instruction and reference support to both main campus and distance learners. We sat down with Andy to learn more about him, his core philosophies, and his connection to nursing!

Tell us a little bit about your background and how long you’ve been with us at the UCF Libraries.

Absolutely! I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from UCF (class of ’96) back when it was the School of Nursing. After I graduated, I worked for about 5 years in public health. One of the initiatives I worked with involved auditing local primary care providers and providing them with the latest guidelines and other literature with the goal of increasing county immunization levels. The internet had just started, and I loved it! I decided to pursue a Master’s degree in library and Information Science and graduated in 2003 from the University of Central Florida. I started working for UCF in 2004 as a librarian for the South Lake Campus in Clermont. I currently serve as the Subject Librarian for the UCF College of Nursing and interim subject librarian for Physical Therapy and Kinesiology. I also work as a UCF Connect Librarian at the EFSC/UCF Joint-Use Library on the Cocoa Campus.
