UWF Libraries

The University of West Florida Libraries provide research materials, research assistance, technology access, and study spaces to support student learning and success. Through the library homepage, uwf.edu/library, students may access the catalog of materials held by all UWF Libraries, online databases that contain full-text articles and e-books, and services such as interlibrary loan. In addition to books that support research, students may check out their undergraduate textbooks.
