Affiliated Libraries Feature Specialized Collections

Abstract

The George A. Smathers Libraries Affiliated Libraries program serves to make specialized collections in partner libraries accessible. These satellite libraries showcase how the UF Libraries reaches beyond our own physical spaces and collections to support creative use of partner libraries' collections. Ten affiliated libraries each host distinctive collections in subjects ranging from tropical horticulture, plant specimens, and citrus research to architecture, art studies and LBGTQ readings. These collections are managed by entities on campus and across the state, reaching distant students and the public far from UF’s main campus.
