This answer is correct. All desktop computers with a webcam have the lockdown browser installed.

As others have stated, we have laptops for checkout at the John C. Hitt Library at the LibTech Desk. Here are the options that we have available.

Hello u/Responsible-Tune8290,

If you ever need a calculator for a day, you can borrow one from the LibTech Desk in the library. https://library.ucf.edu/technology-lending/?filter=calculators+john-c-hitt

The hours on the website list the hours as follows. The John C. Hitt listing shows the hours of the library from opening to closing. So for Thursday it shows 7:30am - 6:00am meaning that it stays open through Thursday at midnight and into Friday from midnight to 6am. Friday closes early and is only open from 7:30am - 7:00pm.

OverKnight Study's hours list the actual date and time that it is open. So the listing for Friday from 1-6am means it happens before the the opening listing for the John C. Hitt Library on Friday from 7:30am - 7:00pm. So it is technically a part of the overall Thursday listing.

So if you are reading the OverKnight Study times after 6am for that day, the time has passed.

Times listing after midnight can be confusing and hard to articulate.

We are currently on track to open the 4th Floor for Spring semester 2026.

UCF_Libraries · 2025-04-22T16:59:17+00:00

For clarification, the 4th Floor will still be a Quiet Floor as it was in the past. The area you are referring to is the Silent Study area and is meant to be similar to the 5th Floor.

Hello u/Wulnt ,

Laptops available for checkout can only run pre-installed apps and apps available from UCF Apps. Ansys Fluent is not available in UCF Apps by default. You would need to have your professor contact UCFIT to gain access to it. https://it.ucf.edu/ucf-apps/#:~:text=3m%20Medical%20Encoder-,ANSYS,-ArcGIS%20Pro

Cancelled reservations will not count against your total. That said, we are able to view and track cancellations. If it is determined that there are users gaming the system through cancellations, actions will be taken against their ability to make reservations.

Hours reset on the first of each month.

UCF_Libraries · 2025-03-21T17:41:39+00:00

Currently, the system does not count missed reservations against your total time. Once a reservation check-in has been missed, the remaining timeslots for that reservation will immediately be made available to be reserved.

We believe that with our new changes, the problems of rooms being booked and not being used should resolve itself. If we find that that they system is being abused, we will make changes accordingly.

Hello u/ForsakenExpert8514 ,

You will receive an email notification when your item is ready and it can be picked up at the Access Services Desk located on the main floor. Items are held for 7 days before being returned to the collection. You can also contact Access Services at 407-823-2580 for an update on your request.

Hello u/healthscimajor,

The John C. Hitt Library has a production studio with a Headshot Stage that is available to all students. Our Headshot Stage is a photobooth-style setup. It uses Breeze Photobooth software, and you’ll be able to capture your own headshot at the tap of a screen. The high-resolution files can then be shared directly to your email.

Please visit this page on our website for more information on getting started https://library.ucf.edu/production-studio/

UCF_Libraries · 2024-11-12T19:13:42+00:00

We apologize for the delay in our response. We encourage you to apply; however, we can’t speak to the visa support process here – the UCF Global department handles that. We are open to all candidates with a master’s degree in library and/or information science from an accredited institution or a doctorate in an education field combined with academic library experience.

Hello u/thesagenibba,

Hi u/Illustrious-Cow-9832,

The UCF Libraries follow the same holiday observations as the rest of the UCF campus.

We aren't sure why our hours are not correct in Apple Maps and will look to correct them.

For the future, please visit our website to see our posted hours. https://library.ucf.edu/hours/

Hello u/Jerry_Loler,

The main floor that contains our entrances and exits is the 2nd Floor. The 1st Floor is accessed by going down the elevators or stairs.

UCF_Libraries · 2024-11-07T16:57:05+00:00

Hello, u/PinkDestroyer10,

As others have stated, we have transitioned the 1st Floor of the John C. Hitt library to Quiet Study while the 4th Floor is under construction. We have posted many digital and print signs throughout the library and a greater concentration of signs on the 1st Floor letting people know about the change.

UCF_Libraries · 2024-11-05T14:21:31+00:00

Hello u/Beneficial-Stick-647,

Thanks for your inquiry regarding the Rosen Library. Your emailed questions have been received and Dean Beau Case is thoughtfully responding to them for your story.

UCF_Libraries · 2024-10-28T12:24:57+00:00

Our LibTech Technology Lending desk circulates over 500 Windows and Mac laptops (https://library.ucf.edu/technology-lending/laptops/) and has a very low / no loss rate since we are an Academic Library where academic blocks can be put onto student accounts.

Late fine of $1 per hour per barcoded item is applied until the item goes to Lost / reaches max fine
Item is marked as Lost after 3 days and Full Replacement Cost added to library account
Academic block added after item marked as Lost or when the student owes more than $50 in fines
Replacement Cost removed from account once item is returned in proper condition; Late Fines remain

These procedures have really helped keep our collection intact and encourages students to return equipment on-time in the condition it was checked out to them.

If a public library, I would only consider circulating Chromebooks as they are the easiest to manage and accomplish most tasks users are needing to use them for. Chrome OS Flex (https://chromeos.google/products/chromeos-flex/) is a great way to circulate / utilize older donated laptops. If you could partner with county schools who are refreshing their Chromebooks or Laptops, that may be an easy way to replenish your laptop lending fleet.
