News and Announcements

This month we are showcasing some of our faculty’s newest additions to the FAU Libraries’ electronic book collection. The titles are diverse and range from topics that include: psychology, education, political science, medicine, nursing, and engineering to name a few.

At this time our library facilities remain closed due to COVID-19. However, FAU Libraries' faculty and staff are working remotely to support virtual teaching, learning, and research. While we can't give you full access to our renowned library collections in person, we still wanted to be able to show off items virtually that have history and importance. That's why we've asked library faculty and staff to share pieces of their personal collections and explain the meaning behind the object.

Review recent e-books we acquired to assist faculty transitioning to a virtual classroom.

We encourage you to hold on to your library books while library buildings are closed.  Book drops are available. 

Virtual Office Hours are informal, online consultations with library staff or subject specialists. Click the link to see when library staff and faculty are available to answer questions, provide guidance and assist with research.

The Library has loaner laptops available, with priority given to students with financial need. 

Because we know that many faculty are concerned about their ability to carry out their research, we in the Libraries have worked out some extra assistance for faculty.

As of 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, all FAU libraries (in Boca Raton, Jupiter, and HBOI) will be closing to the public, but we will continue to be a resource for the FAU community.

In coordination with the University Administration, the FAU library facilities in Boca Raton, Jupiter and HBOI will close at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18. 

Dean Carol Hixson has released a statement regarding the FAU Libraries continued response to the Coronavirus.
