36 /GENERAL INFORMATION campus libraries as well as the services available to assist students and faculty in locating needed information. The Libraries of the University of Florida consist of eight libraries. Six are in the system known as the George A. Smathers Libraries of the University of Florida and two (Health Sciences and Law) are attached to their respective administrative units. All of the libraries serve all the University's faculty and students, but each has a special mission to be the primary support of specific colleges and degree programs. Because of the interdisciplinary natureof research, scholars may find collections built in one library to serve a specific discipline or constituency to be of great importance to their own research in another discipline. It most likely will be necessary to use more than one library to discover all of the resources pertinent to a particular research interest. The LUIS system, your key to the UF libraries collections, has been greatly expanded in recent years. It now offers a diverse information menu. In addition to the online catalog of the holdings of the University of Florida, LUIS contains the catalogs of the other State University System libraries in Florida and of libraries in other states and foreign nations. Several indexes to articles and reports provide citations to journal articles. A new "Library News and Information" section contains library hours, phone numbers, and other practical information. There are also gateways to other information sources-local, national and international. The online catalog eases the difficulty of locating mate- rials as it is accessible from offices, laboratories, and dormitories or homes with workstation access to NERDC. It contains about96% of the cataloged collections-excep- tions are some older humanities and social science titles acquired priorto 1975 as well as some uncataloged special, archival, map, microform, and document collections. Ac- cess to many of these collections is available through the Union Card Catalog on the First Floor of Library West, specialized catalogs in Special Collections and Docu- ments, or other finding aids in Microtexts and the Map Collection. Reference staff throughout the libraries can provide instruction in the use of LUIS and/or written instruc- tions for self help. CyberLibrary is a new service which is accessible from the main LUIS menu. It has developed into a system of user- friendly menus that provide access to a wealth of informa- tion about the UF Libraries, electronic journals, academic electronic discussion lists, Internet access tools, and more. Several electronic publications received by the Libraries which do not exist as print publications can be read in CyberLibrary. Examples include Post Modern Culture, BrynMawr Classical Review, Leonardo Electronic News, Central America Update, Chronicle of Latin American Economic Affairs, etc. Owing to disciplinary variation in research methods, the policies enforced and the services offered may differ from library to library. Most of the libraries have an advisory board consisting of faculty and students who advise on the policies and services relatingto their library. Information on local policies is available at the circulation and reference desks in each library. As is common in research libraries, library materials are housed in a variety of locations depending upon discipline. SLibrary West holds most of the humanities and social science collections, as well as professional collections in support of business, health and human performance, and journalism. The Documents Collections are major hold- ings of all federal documents (excepts the science related holdings in Marston), many state and local documents, and selected holdings of international and foreign docu- ments. *Smathers Library holds the Latin American and Judaica collections, and the Special Collections-rare books and manuscripts, PK Young Library of Florida History, and University Archives. eMarston Science Library holds most of the agriculture, science, and technology collections as well as the Map Library. It also houses the federal documents published by the USDA, NASA, Patent Office, and USGS. *Architecture/Fine Arts Library (201 Fine Arts Building A) holds visual arts, architecture, and building construc- tion materials. *Education Library (1500 Norman Hall) holds most of the education collections. *Music Library (231 Music Building) holds most music materials and a collection of recordings. *journalism Reading Room holds a small collection of materials relating to journalism and mass communica- tion. *Health Science Center Library holds major resources forthe medical sciences, related life sciences, and veteri- nary medicine. Legal Information Center holds major resources for law and related social sciences. Together the Libraries hold over 3,000,000 cataloged volumes, 4,200,000 microforms, 1,000,000 documents, 550,000 maps, and 20,000 computer datasets. The Librar- ies have built a number of nationally significant research collections primarily in support of graduate research pro- grams. Among them are the Baldwin Library of Children's Literature which is among the world's greatest collections of literature for children (Smathers Library, Special Collec- tions); the Map and Imagery Library which is an extensive repository of maps, atlases, aerial photographs, and remote sensing imagery with particular collection strengths for the southeastern United States, Florida, Latin America, and Africa south of the Sahara (Marston Science Library, Level One);the Isser and Ray Price Library ofJudaicawhich isthe largest collection of its kind in the Southeast (Smathers Library, fourth floor); and the P.K. Young Library of Florida History, which is the state's preeminent Floridiana collec- tion and holds the largest North American collection of Spanish colonial documents concerning the southeastern United States as well as rich archives of prominent Florida politicians (Smathers Library, Special Collections). The Libraries also have particularly strong holdings in architectural preservation and 18th-century American architecture (AFA), late 19th- and early-20th-century German state documents from 1850-1940 (Library West), Latin American art and architecture (AFA and Smathers Library), national bibliographies (Library West, Reference), U.S. Census information, especially in electronic format (Library West, Documents), the rural sociology of Florida and tropical and subtropical agriculture collections (Marston Science Library), English and American literature (Library West), and U.S. documents (Library West, Documents). All students and faculty are provided library services upon presentation of the University of Florida machine readable ID card. This card is used to circulate books, to borrow reserves; and to establish identity for other library services such as Interlibrary Loan and online searching. Reference service is provided to library users in each library and is also available via telephone and E-Mail. All of the libraries provide special services to assist students and faculty with disabilities in their use of the libraries; informa-
