FSCJ Library Technical Services

An informative guide for library staff

Introduction to FLVC

FLVC Library Services provides information, training, tools, and other resources for library staff at the 28 state colleges and 12 public universities in Florida. Learn more about the Library Services unit of the Florida Virtual Campus and the 150+ libraries at our state's 40 public institutions of higher education. A clickable map locates the colleges and universities that they serve and provides links to each institution's library website.

These are the key services they provide:

  • A shared catalog of library holdings of over 27 million physical items
  • A sophisticated integrated library system (ILS) used by libraries to manage their local collections
  • Collaboration with institutions to create and support Florida libraries' digital archives and collections
  • Management and maintenance of the statewide collection of e-resources
  • Negotiation and procurement of e-resources for individual institutions through a group licensing process
  • Training and consultation on FLVC products and services, in addition to convenient online webinars, instruction, and self-paced training
  • A centralized, statewide Help Desk providing user and technical support for all library services
  • A statewide community to promote and support textbook affordability and Open Educational Resources (OER)
