Please read below for important updates about collection and elevator access.
Collection Access
Books from the 5th floor of LACC will be temporarily unavailable while they undergo remediation for environmental mold. This process ensures the long-term preservation of our books and the health of our community. Books in LACC with call numbers A – HQ27 .S253 1997 will be inaccessible starting August 14, 2026. Requests for materials within this call number range can be submitted through Interlibrary Loan. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Materials from the fourth floor (Call #s HQ27 .S257 2000 – Z) can still be requested through the LACC Materials Request Form.
E-Books and digital resources will remain available.
If you are a course instructor and need materials for Fall 2026 classes, please contact Course Reserves.
Questions about the status of this project and access to the collection can be directed to lacref@uflib.ufl.edu. Thank you for your patience as we deal with this issue.
Elevator Access
Please be advised that elevator access in Smathers Library will be temporarily impacted by ongoing collection maintenance beginning on Monday, September 28, 2026.
The elevator will still be accessible but wait times might be longer than normal.
Updates will be provided as the project progresses. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
