Library Guide for International Students

Primo

The best way to search for books and e-books will be to use our new Primo search tool. This tool searches across many of our resources including our complete library catalog. Click the red circles to learn more about the search features.

For books not at UF you can either borrow them through the Inter-Library Loan (ILL) Request.

Inter-Library Loan is a service that can provide you (a UF library user) with materials that are not available from the UF Libraries – either copies (of articles and book chapters), or loans (books, microfilm, media, etc.).

Your Gator1 card allows you to check out library materials and you can use your online account to manage your loans. Find out more about your borrowing privileges.

UF users currently have access to thousands of multidisciplinary streaming videos.
