Florida College and University Libraries Adopt Next-Generation Technology

Florida College and University Libraries Adopt Next-Generation Technology

Salazar, Araceli


This article is about public colleges and universities across Florida using new technology to share books, journals and other educational resources. It talks about how Florida legislature provided $1.5 million dollars to implement this new system.  This new system will connect over 40 college and university libraries and allow libraries to manage their work within one system from any device.

A new responsive website design will allow students to access material from any device, anywhere and anytime. New features for librarians will improve the ability to find, track and share material, process new acquisitions, and analyze usage.


This article was an interesting read because I am aware of interlibrary loans but unaware there was a system that will connect multiple libraries. I believe it would be interesting to see once the system is up and running. I am also interested at the analysis it’s capable of giving. Colleges and universities are rich with different collection, so to see it all in one system is amazing.
