1. LIBRARY COMPUTER SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to upcoming library system improvements to enhance collaboration and efficiency:
*UBorrow (direct requests from SUS libraries) will be unavailable from June 15-28
*Renewals, hold requests, and account features will be unavailable from June 22-28
*Item availability information in the catalog will also be unavailable from June 22-28.
Please renew or return your books before June 22 if they are coming due soon.
Online renewals can be made (before the interruption) by going to http://uf.catalog.fcla.edu/uf.jsp and clicking on "renewals/library account."
All databases, digital collections and electronic journals (HAPI, DLOC, JSTOR, etc.) should function normally. This work will mainly affect the catalog and circulation systems.
Patrons will benefit from the improvements to an online catalog shared by the various state university libraries in Florida, which may already be consulted at: http://union.catalog.fcla.edu/ux.jsp .

2. UF-PANAMA CANAL MUSEUM COLLABORATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"With the completion of the transfer of the Panama Canal Museum collection by July 2012, over 12,000 objects, photos, books and archives will be added to the Smathers Libraries. The libraries will continue to collect complementary materials and develop collaborations with global entities for the loan and exchange of collections. The Panama Canal Museum created a $100,000 endowment to help preserve this historic collection for future generations to enjoy and research."
"Save the Date! The Panama Canal Centennial Celebration (August 2014-August 2015) kicks off with a special weekend of activities at the University of Florida on August 15-17, 2014."
