Dear University of Miami Community,
It is my great pleasure to welcome new and returning students, faculty, and staff to the University of Miami Libraries. The Libraries ranks among the top 50 academic research libraries in North America and supports the full range of research, teaching, learning, and clinical care activities across all three of the University’s campuses located in Coral Gables, on Virginia Key, and in the Health District near downtown Miami. The University Libraries provides extraordinarily broad and deep print and electronic resources in all areas of the arts, design, engineering, humanities, medicine, and the sciences. Your ’Cane Card and Cane ID provide unlimited access to all the Libraries has to offer.
I would like to draw your attention to a few notable items of importance this semester. The windows replacement project that began prior to the pandemic will continue this semester—focused on the Richter Library second floor. University of Miami faculty authors who publish in Public Library of Science journals will have their article processing charges covered by an innovative and new Libraries program. And, on January 1, 2022, HathiTrust once again celebrated Public Domain Day. Book titles published in 1926 entered the public domain in the United States, including more than 42,000 items in the HathiTrust collection.
And, no matter your interests—history, wellness, culture, arts and music—you can always count on the University of Miami Libraries to offer you a stimulating learning opportunity and a moment of diversion. You can find the dates for some of our upcoming events at the bottom of this message.
