Building the collections of the UCF Libraries to support the research and teaching needs of the university involves a network of 20 librarians who work cooperatively with the classroom faculty. Each academic department has a faculty representative and a librarian assigned to select materials. Suggestions for library materials can be made through the faculty representative or to the librarian for a specific subject area.
Anyone may suggest a book or media title for purchase by completing the online Recommendation Form. There is, however, no guarantee that the title requested will be purchased. The request will be given to the appropriate subject-area librarian. Factors considered in the selection of materials include the collection policy for the subject, the cost of the title, and the availability of funds.
UCF faculty may suggest journals or databases for purchase by consulting with the librarian assigned to a specific subject area or by completing the online Recommendation Form. Factors considered in the selection of journals include coverage of the requested title in databases and indexes, the title's specific application towards course work and teaching, and the availability of funds to support the ongoing subscription for the title. For databases, factors for selection include the title's coverage of the journal literature, ease of use, and the availability of funds to support an ongoing subscription.
