University of Florida Graduate School
Because of the disciplinary variation in research methods, the
policies enforced and the services offered may differ from library to
library. Most of the libraries have an advisory board consisting of
faculty and students who advise on the policies and services relating
to their library. Information on local policies is available at the
information desks in each library and on the specific library's home
page. As is common in research libraries, library materials are
housed in a variety of locations depending on discipline.

Judaica is located on the first floor. Library West includes 84
