George A. Smathers Libraries

The University of Florida’s seven libraries form the largest information resource system in the state of Florida, serving every college and center in the university. With more than 3.4 million visits each year, the libraries are home to over 6 million print volumes, 1.5 million e-books and a number of nationally significant research collections and architectural preservations. Private support allows the Libraries to continue to build collections — both print and electronic — and provide outstanding services to students and faculty.
