Open Education Week is March 6 – 10, 2023. It is an internationally recognized time with the goals of improving the quality, accessibility, and affordability of education by facilitating and encouraging open education practices. Learn more about Open Education Resources and register for the upcoming Library webinar on the topic. 

In honor of Women's History Month, the FAU Libraries created a pop-up library of resources dedicated to women's achievements and contributions to society. This special collection features books, journals, and multimedia materials that highlight the history, experiences, and perspectives of women from around the world. The pop-up library is designed to provide easy access to these important resources and promote awareness and understanding of women's issues and struggles.

Do you have questions about Fair Use, copyright-protected works, and how they may affect your work and research? See the frequently asked questions about the topic presented by faculty librarian Kristy Padron. 

A historical archive in Wimberly Library will serve as a student study and community engagement space.

Free menstrual products are now available at all women's and gender-neutral restrooms at Wimberly Library. A collaboration between FAU Libraries and Student Government, the program supplies 100% organic cotton tampons and pads for students. 

Fair Use Week is February 20 – 24. The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) designated this time to highlight and promote what fair use allows with copyrighted works. Are you curious about using books, articles, journals, or other sources in your courses or scholarly works but unsure where to find information? See the following article for authoritative sources on copyright and fair use.

Please help us evaluate the Libraries' social media. All responses to the survey are anonymous and reported only in the aggregate. The survey should take about 5 minutes, and everyone who completes it and submits their contact information will be entered into a random drawing to win a waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Instructions on how to enter the drawing are provided after the survey is submitted.

Stop by the Wimberly Library on February 22 at 11 a.m. to meet Vallie and enjoy the stress-relief coloring table, puzzles, and games. FAU PD and Owls Care will share information about the campus mental health resources and tips on dealing with stress and anxiety.
