FLVC Library Services

FLVC Library Services FLVC Library Services provides support, & resources for the libraries of Florida’s colleges. FALSC serves 40 institutions and more than 150 campus libraries.

The Florida Academic Library Services Cooperative (FALSC) provides services, support, and resources for the libraries of our state’s public colleges and universities. We work behind the scenes to help ensure that Florida’s students have the tools and information they need to succeed, operating a statewide integrated library system along with a shared catalog and a statewide collection of online journals, digitized materials, e-books, and other valuable e-resources. Our products and services are available to nearly 1.3 million students, faculty, and staff throughout Florida. Right now, we’re implementing a next-generation integrated library system for the institutions, and coordinating training for library staff statewide on the new system – thus the flash drives pictured in one of our photos. We handed out about 1,500 of those, loaded with helpful information and links, in 2017. The Florida Academic Library Services Cooperative is a division of the Florida Virtual Campus (FLVC), and is administered by the Northwest Regional Data Center at Florida State University. The organizations have offices in Tallahassee, Gainesville, and Pensacola. Our staff members have a variety of backgrounds — in library science, information technology, education, marketing and communications, and other fields.

FLVC staff presented at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference on Oct. 1 about the success of the statewide OpenAthens initiative.

The EDUCAUSE presentation focused on how Florida institutions are using the OpenAthens Reporting API to strengthen library assessment and better understand how the use of library electronic resources has positive impacts on student success. The initiative demonstrates how statewide technology and collaboration can provide institutions with tools to improve services while supporting informed decision making.
