Field and Fork Food Pantry

The Field and Fork Campus Food Program is a university-wide collaboration to provide experiential learning opportunities in sustainable agriculture and food systems, and offer spaces at UF where individuals can take courses, engage with demonstrations, and participate in activities focusing on sustainable agriculture and food systems at multiple scales from a home, community garden, or small/urban farm to large-scale production. An interdisciplinary program housed within UF/IFAS College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, it runs the on-campus farm and provides healthy food for those in need through the Alan and Cathy Hitchcock Pantry.

• The Pantry
  The Alan and Cathy Hitchcock Pantry is intended to assist members of our campus community who experience food insecurity. We will not ask guests of The Pantry to verify income or need. We will trust that guests will use The Pantry only when they have a need to use the service. We recognize that some people who use The Pantry will have a chronic need for food while others may only have a temporary need that may not be reflected in a financial statement of need.
• The Farm and Gardens
  The Teaching Farm hosts a variety of productions systems that can be used for experiential learning. From Art and History to Engineering and Agronomy, the farm is designed to allow for all disciplines to be able to explore and experience food systems concepts and sustainable agriculture in practice. At the farm and gardens, volunteers and interns work together to manage the space and to provide food for themselves, as well as to donate food to the Alan and Cathy Hitchcock Pantry and local charities. This space also offers demonstrations that showcase world cultures and their relationships to plants, home gardening, and the link between agriculture and natural resources. The Gardens can also be used for classes, tours, and events.

Florida Museum of Natural History

The Florida Museum of Natural History was created by the Legislature in 1917 as a department of the University of Florida. Through its affiliation with the University, it carries dual responsibility as the official State Museum of Florida and as the University museum. The public education and exhibits division of the Museum is in Powell Hall, on Hull Road at the western edge of campus, situated between the Harn Museum of Art and the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. Powell Hall is devoted exclusively to permanent and traveling exhibits, educational and public programs, special events, and includes the “Butterfly Rainforest.” It is staffed by specialists in interpreting natural history through exhibits and educational programs. Consult the website for hours and admission fees (https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu). The Museum also operates as a center of research in anthropology and natural science. The research and collections division is in Dickinson Hall, at the corner of Museum Road and Newell Drive. This building is not open to the public. The Department of Natural History houses the state’s natural history collections and is staffed by scientists and support personnel concerned with the study of modern and fossil plants and animals and historic and prehistoric people and their cultures. Scientific and educational faculty curators hold appointments in appropriate UF academic units. Through these appointments, they participate in both undergraduate and graduate teaching programs. The Museum’s McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity opened in 2004. This world-class facility features a 46,000-square-foot Lepidoptera center housing one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive Lepidoptera collections, and state-of-the-art research facilities for their study. It also contains dynamic public exhibitions and a live “Butterfly Rainforest” exhibit with a walking trail, educational exhibits and hundreds of living butterflies.

The Randell Research Center at the Pineland archaeological site near Fort Myers, Florida, is dedicated to learning and teaching the archaeology, history and ecology of Southwest Florida.

The Herbarium at UF is also a division of the Museum. It contains specimens of vascular and nonvascular plants. The research collections are in the care of curators who encourage scientific study of the Museum’s holdings. Materials are constantly being added to the collections both through gifts from friends and as a result of research activities by Museum staff. The archaeological and ethnographic collections are noteworthy, particularly in the aboriginal and Spanish colonial material remains from the southeastern United States and the Caribbean. There are extensive study collections of birds, mammals, mollusks, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrate and vertebrate fossils, plant fossils, tissue and genetic material, and a bioacoustic archive of original recordings of animal sounds. Opportunities are provided for students, staff and visiting scientists to use the collections. Research and field work are presently sponsored in the archaeological, paleontological and zoological fields.

Students interested in these specialties should apply to the appropriate academic units. Graduate assistantships are available in the Museum in areas emphasized in its research programs.

UF Libraries

The libraries of the University of Florida (UF Libraries) form the largest information resource system in the state of Florida and include seven libraries. Six are in the system known as the George A. Smathers Libraries, and one (the Lawton Chiles Legal Information Center) is part of the College of Law. The University of Florida Gator1 card provides access to library services at all libraries.

All of the libraries serve the entire community, but each has a special mission to be the primary support of specific colleges, degree programs and research initiatives. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of research, scholars may find collections held in one library to serve a specific discipline or constituency to be of great importance to their own research in a different field.

The Smathers Libraries home page offers a wealth of information about the libraries and links to a vast array of resources. Print and electronic collections can be accessed through the library catalog as well as through general and subject-specific databases. Library Guides are available by subject and topic to assist with the location and use of appropriate resources. Many online resources can be accessed both on and off campus. Print materials not available locally can be quickly located and borrowed through Interlibrary Loan. Reference service is available in each library as well as via phone, email and chat. All of the libraries provide special services to help students and faculty with disabilities.  

The Libraries participate in UBorrow which allows users to request materials through the online library catalog directly from participating libraries in the State University System (SUS) and the Florida College System (FCS). If a book is unavailable in the University of Florida collection but is available elsewhere in the SUS or FCS, the UBorrow icon will appear on the library catalog search page. Clicking this link will take users to the statewide catalog, where they can provide their library credentials, and specify a pickup site. UBorrow loans usually arrive within a few days. This unmediated borrowing service creates a virtual statewide library of over 16 million items.

The Smathers Libraries’ hours are at the top of the homepage. Hours differ for each library building.

Lactation Rooms are located in Library West (second floor), Marston Science Library (third floor) and the Education Library (first floor). The key can be requested at the Information Desk in each of these libraries. Gender Neutral/Family Restrooms are located in Library West (second floor), Marston Science Library (first floor) Smathers Library (second floor) and the Education Library (first floor).

Workstations in UF libraries provide access to the whole array of electronic resources and services, most of which can be accessed from a classroom, office, lab or any other on-campus location with access to the UF network as well. Licensing for library databases, e-journals and e-books restricts off-campus access to staff, students, and faculty. Instructions for remote access are available.

Library orientation programs are offered at the beginning of each term. In addition, instruction and liasion librarians will work with faculty and teaching assistants to develop and present course-specific library instruction sessions for their students. Subject specialists, who work closely with faculty and graduate students to select materials for the collections, also advise graduate students and other researchers who need specialized bibliographic knowledge to define local and global information resources available to support specific research. The Academic Research & Consulting Services, known as ARCS, is comprised of functional specialists who offer unique expertise and services to support research activities in all disciplines, through data collection to dissemination of results to evaluation of outputs to archiving.

Library West houses most of the humanities and social science collections; professional collections in support of business, health and human performance, journalism and public relations; as well as the circulating collections for African Studies, Asian Studies, and the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica. Library West offers 200 public computers, a KIC Bookeye high speed scanner, 18 group study rooms and 39 individual graduate study carrels that are assigned for the academic year. Priority is given to those graduate students completing doctoral dissertations in the humanities or social sciences. An online application form is available. In addition, the sixth floor of Library West is a study area reserved for graduate students. Access is provided after students register at the Circulation Desk.

Marston Science Library houses collections in agriculture, life sciences, engineering and physical sciences. The first floor Collaboration Commons includes a multipurpose conference room with a multi-touch visualization wall. It is also the location for the MADE@UF lab, a collaboration space created by the Libraries and Academic Technology to be used for creative activities such as mobile app development, and other “maker” initiatives including virtual and augmented reality. Marston offers more than 130 public computers, 24 study rooms, a KIC Bookeye high speed scanner, 3D printing services (including printers you can borrow), and both quiet and collaborative study spaces.  

Health Science Center Libraries (HSCL) serve the academic, research and clinical information needs of the Colleges of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Health Professions and Veterinary Medicine, as well as the affiliated research institutes, hospitals and clinics. The library in Gainesville is located in the Communicore. The Veterinary Medicine Education Center in the College of Veterinary Medicine Building, while not a branch library, is supported by the HSCL. The Gainesville location has 160 public computers, including 26 big screen monitors, 18 individual study and 14 group study rooms. A 24/7 space is available with preapproved Gator 1 card access. The Borland Library serves UF Health Jacksonville. The library has 24 public computers, a practice/large group study room and 24 individual carrels. The HSCL was an early leader among health sciences libraries in providing liaison librarian services, is integrated into the curricula of the health science colleges and collaborates with faculty in the provision of instruction and on other projects. Librarians at the HSCL also provide clinical rounding, basic bioinformatics, data management support and systematic review services.

Smathers Library (formerly known as Library East) holds the Latin American and Caribbean Collection, the Map & Imagery Library and Special and Area Studies Collections, including rare books and manuscripts, the Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s Literature, P. K. Yonge Library of Florida History, and the University Archives (custodian of the University’s historically significant public records including the administrative files of its past presidents). It also is the location of the Grand Reading Room (the original library), the Judaica Suite (a beautiful multipurpose space that houses about 8,000 rare and non-circulating books from the Price Library of Judaica), and the Panama Canal Gallery.

Architecture & Fine Arts Library, located on the second floor in Fine Arts Building A, holds research materials in architecture, art, art history, historic preservation, interior design, landscape architecture, museum studies and music, with key resources for building construction and urban & regional planning. In addition to bound volumes (books, journals, musical scores), the library holds over 12,000 sound and video recordings. Special equipment available to users includes multi-format audio listening equipment, scanners for documents up to 18x24” and a 3D scanner. Tripods, small video cameras and digital projectors are available for checkout. The library’s mid-century interior, with its 20-ft high ceiling reading room and double-decker carrels is a popular destination for quiet study.

The Education Library, located in Norman Hall, holds education, child development, higher education, school psychology and school counseling collections. In addition to electronic and print research materials, there are other specialized collections such as the Children’s and Young Adult Literature Collection and the K-12 Textbook Collection. The library has 44 public computers, seven group study rooms, 3D printing and a KIC Bookeye high speed scanner. A makerspace includes die cuts for students to create visual learning aids for K-12 education.

Oak Ridge Associated Universities

Since 1948, UF students and faculty of the University of Florida have benefited from its membership in Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU). ORAU is a consortium of 98 colleges and universities and a contractor of the U.S. Department of Energy in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. ORAU works with its member institutions to help their students and faculty gain access to federal research facilities throughout the country; to keep its members informed about opportunities for fellowship, scholarship, and research appointments; and to organize research alliances among its members.

Through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), the DOE facility that ORAU operates, undergraduates, graduates, postgraduates, and faculty enjoy access to a multitude of opportunities for study and research. Students can participate in programs covering a wide variety of disciplines including business, earth sciences, epidemiology, engineering, physics, geological sciences, pharmacology, ocean sciences, biomedical sciences, nuclear chemistry, and mathematics. Appointment and program lengths range from 1 month to 4 years. Many of these programs aim to increase the number of underrepresented minority students pursuing degrees in science- and engineering-related disciplines.

Office of Research

The University of Florida’s Office of Research facilitates and manages the university’s external research funding enterprise. The office provides many services for UF faculty, staff and students, from identifying a grant opportunity to managing proposals and awards and protecting and promoting intellectual property. The Division of Sponsored Programs facilitates institutional approval for all extramural proposal submissions, accepts and administers grant awards, and negotiates contracts and other research-related agreements on behalf of the University of Florida. The Division of Research Program Development identifies funding opportunities for faculty, manages internal funding programs and assists in planning and coordinating large, interdisciplinary research initiatives.

The Division of Research Compliance assists faculty, staff and students in conducting research in compliance with applicable research regulatory requirements and institutional policies. The goal of the Division of Research Compliance is to promote compliance while facilitating research. The Division of Research Operations and Services provides support that underpins the campus-wide services that are part of the Office of Research portfolio.

The University of Florida Research Foundation is a non-profit, direct-support organization that manages the university’s royalty and licensing enterprise. The Office of Technology Licensing handles patenting, marketing and licensing of intellectual property. OTL works closely with UF inventors in identifying and protecting new inventions. All patents, copyrights and trademarks are processed and managed by OTL, which also helps researchers develop confidentiality, mutual secrecy, and material transfer agreements.

The Office of Research provides funds for the Grinter Fellowship program. These fellowships are part of funding packages awarded by academic units to support recruitment of outstanding new graduate students. The Office of Research also supports individual graduate students by offering competitive travel grants and other types of awards. This office also provides an important centralized location for other internal and external funding opportunities by offering a host of resources at https://research.ufl.edu/research-lifecycle/find-funding.html.

Ombuds

The Office of the University Ombuds was established by the state legislature and reports through the Provost to the President. The Office helps students resolve problems and conflicts. It offers an informal avenue of redress for students’ problems and grievances that arise in the course of interacting with the institution. By considering the problems in an unbiased way, the Ombuds works to achieve a fair resolution while protecting the rights of all involved parties.

Resolving student academic issues: The Office of the Ombuds deals with student concerns of an academic nature. In almost all instances, students should first contact the instructor, the academic unit chair, and the college dean before seeking help from the Ombuds, although in some rare circumstances earlier contact with the University Ombuds is beneficial.

Resolving student non-academic issues: In many instances, non-academic issues can be easily and readily resolved for students merely by facilitating direct communication and effective listening. For other problems not related to academic issues, the Offices of the Dean of Students and the University Ombuds may provide help or direct students to contact the appropriate campus office.
