SPECIAL FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS / 33


Florida History is the state's preeminent Floridiana collec-
tion (404 Library West). Its holdings of Spanish colonial
documents concerning the southeastern United States are
the largest of its kind in North America. A rich collection
of serials, ephemera, and reference materials dealing with
the performing arts has been gathered into the Belknap
Collection (512 Library West), and the University Ar-
chives (450 Library East) maintain the corporate memory
of the University's academic and administrative pro-
grams.
 More than 90 percentof the cataloged collection can be
 located through the Libraries' online catalog which is
 called LUIS (Library Users Information Service). Termi-
 nals are available in every library location, and remote
 access to the online catalog is available through every
 terminal capable of linking to the University's mainframe.
 Library holdings, mainly older or special items added to
 the collections before 1975, which are not available on
 LUIS, can be located through the Libraries Union Card
 Catalog, which is housed in Library West, first floor.
 The Libraries are linked to OCLC and are full member-
 owners in the Research Libraries Group (RLG), making the
 RLIN system available in all library locations.
 Current information regarding the hours at Library East
 and West may be obtained by telephoning 392-0341 and
 for the Marston Science Library by calling 335-8500.
 Information about circulation policy and library borrower
 cards may be obtained at any circulation desk.

 MAJOR ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTATION
 CENTER (MAIC)

 The Major Analytical Instrumentation Center (MAIC)
-was established in 1982 to help make available complex
modern analytical instrumentation and to promote its
efficient usage on the campus and in the state. This is
accomplished by coordinating campuswide usage, help-
ing to provide resources for maintenance, upgrading
existing instruments and developing new techniques,
planning purchases of major new instruments, training
and supervising users, and providing professional scien-
tists to supervise the solution of individual problems.
Center personnel also direct users to other campus facili-
ties, if necessary. For example, the Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) and the Departmentof Chem-
istry both have a number of analytical facilities that are
available to some users. .
 The instruments involved include several electron
 microscopes (TEM, SEM, AEM) with full analytical and
 imaging capabilities, instruments directed toward surface
 analysis (i.e., AES, ISS, SIMS and XPS, RBS, PIXE and
 NRA), and several mass spectrometers.
 Education and training are achieved by a variety of
 means. The MAIC offers short courses annually in several
 specialized areas, e.g., scanning electron microscopy,
 transmission electron microscopy, vacuum technology,
 surface science, and optical microscopy. These are open
 both for graduate credit and to those outside the university
 community. (The Chemistry Department, IFAS, and the
 Engineering and Industrial Experiment Station also regu-
 larly offer several short courses of a complementary
 nature.) Some individually supervised training directed
 by Center personnel is available to graduate students.
 The overall aim of the MAIC is thus to make possible the
 solution of any scientific or technological problem that
 requires state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation and to


make these capabilities accessible to all university and
state personnel. Cooperation with state industries is also
encouraged where this is legal and appropriate.
 The administration and professional staff of the MAIC
are located in 217 Materials Science and Engineering
Buildingwhere further information may be obtained upon
request.
MONOGRAPH SERIES

 The Graduate School sponsors two monograph series
devoted to the publication of research primarily by pres-
ent and former members of the scholarly community of
the University. The Social Sciences Monographs are
published each yearwith subjects drawn from anthropol-
ogy, economics, history, political science, sociology,
education, geography, law, and psychology. The Hu-
manities Monographs are published each year with sub-
jects drawn from art, language and literature, music,
philosophy, and religion.
FLORIDA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
 The Florida Museum of Natural History was created by
an act of the Legislature in 1917 as a department of the
University of Florida. Through its affiliation with the Uni-
versity, it carried dual responsibility as the Florida Museum
and the University Museum.
 The Museum is located at the corner of Museum Road
 and Newell Drive in a modern facility completed in 1970.
 The public halls are open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday
 through Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The
 Museum is closed on Christmas Day. There is no admis-
 sion charge.
 The Museum operates as a center of research in anthro-
 pology and natural history. Its accessory functions as an
 educational arm of the University are carried forward
 through interpretive displays and scientific publications.
 Under the administrative control of the director are the
 three departments of the Museum: Natural Sciences, staffed
 by scientists and technicians concerned with the study and
 expansion of the research collections of animals; Anthro-
 pology, whose staff members are concerned with the study
 of historic and prehistoric people and their cultures; Inter-
 pretation, staffed by specialists in the interpretation of
 knowledge through museum exhibit techniques and edu-
 cation programs. Members of the scientific and educa-
 tional staff of the Museum hold dual appointments in
 appropriate teaching departments. Through these appoint-
 ments, they participate in both undergraduate and gradu-
 ate teaching programs.
 The Allyn Museum of Entomology, Sarasota, is part of
 the Department of Natural Sciences of the lorida Museum
 of Natural History. The combined Sarasota and Gainesville
 holdings in Lepidoptera rank the Allyn Museum of Ento-
 mology as the largest in the western hemisphere and the
 premier Lepidoptera research center in the world. The
 Allyn Museum publishes the Bulletin oftheAllyn Museum
 of Entomology and sponsors the Karl Jordan Medal. The
 Allyn Collection serves as a major source for taxonomic
 and biogeographic research by a number of Museum and
 Department of Zoology faculty and students, as well as a
 great many visiting entomologists from around the world.
 The Swisher Memorial Tract and the Ordway Preserve
 are adjacent pieces of land totalling some 9,300 acres. The
 land includes an array of habitats including marsh, lakes,
 sandhills, and mesic hammocks. Jointly administered by
