PLEASE READ
Library resources are predominantly restricted to current UF faculty, students and staff. To use our electronic resources from off-campus, you MUST first logon to our network remotely. If you are willing to take a little extra time to download and install software on your home computer or personal laptop, setting up a UF VPN is worthwhile because it will enable you to maximize your Google search results and utilize your web-browser without limitations.
Although PAD 3003 is being offered remotely, you may still come onto campus to use a group study room, explore reference materials, or borrow books. Library West is quite a large building which serves a number of functions. The top two floors (floors five & six) are exclusively designated for staff/administration offices and graduate students. The fourth floor is primarily intended for quiet study. Please refer to the following maps of Library West to find print copies of books, references, journals, and other media:
