UF Libraries
The George A. Smathers Libraries contains a wealth of resources that can give your students a window into different countries, cultures, and time periods. With much more than just books available, you can incorporate items showcasing different global perspectives, such as physical artifacts, posters, maps, newspaper clippings, and more, into your course. If an in-person visit to the libraries is possible for your class, your students can have hands-on encounters with rare books and other materials. Or if your class is online, you can take advantage of the libraries’ extensive online collection. Connect with the contacts listed below for help developing global learning activities for your course in collaboration with Smathers Libraries.
