UCF Libraries

New exhibit alert!! It's the Twentieth Anniversary of the Student Book Arts Exhibition. Come check out the newest entries and also see past years' winners. The gallery is open 9am - 4pm Monday - Friday. Note the door is always shut for noise control on the fourth floor but it is open during those hours so please come on in!

Last weekend to catch our latest exhibit on the art wall in the John C Hitt Library! UCF Students conducted research on typographic history, devleoped a research guide, and designed their own typefaces for this exhibit. The result is a very colorful and bold take on typography.

All UCF Library locations will be closed on Monday, 5/25, in observance of Memorial Day. The John C Hitt Library will be open normal operating hours Sunday, 5/24 and Tuesday, 5/26.

Quick reminder that your friendly neighborhood library is open seven days a week in the summer for all your reading needs!

This isn't the droid you're looking for. You can go about your business and check out books, record a podcast, and enjoy the art wall just like this droid that you are in no way looking for. Move along. 🤖

We’d like to congratulate a few of our Librarians on their recent promotions! ✨

Join us Wednesday, 4/22 at 1pm in Rm 425 for Open Scholarly Profiles! Wikidata, a multilingual knowledge base of structured linked data, can be leveraged to support and generate scholarly profiles. Participants will learn how contributing publications and identifiers to Wikidata strengthens the open knowledge ecosystem while extending the visibility of researchers and institutions across the web.
This session will demonstrate how Wikidata can power faculty profiles and bibliographic visualizations, while offering participants an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the platform. Registration and more info at https://events.ucf.edu/event/4071752/open-scholarly-profiles-with-wikidata/
