The National Federation of Advanced Information Services (NFAIS™), a global nonprofit membership organisation serving the information services community, has announced that the state of Florida's Council of State University Libraries (CSUL) has joined NFAIS as a new member.
The CSUL members are: University of Florida (already a current NFAIS member), Florida A&M University, Florida Atlantic University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Florida International University, Florida State University, New College of Florida, University of Central Florida, University of North Florida, University of South Florida and University of West Florida.
The CSUL mission is to direct collaborative efforts to build collections, share resources and provide library services and programs that support the teaching, research and service agendas of the State Universities of Florida. Via its committee structure, the CSUL provides leadership, planning, funding and management of collaborative activities among the 11 State University Libraries.
The CSUL member libraries, individually and collectively, provide access to collections and services that support the teaching, research and service missions of Florida's state universities and the communities they serve. The Libraries, in settings both physical and virtual, seek to inspire intellectual inquiry, facilitate learning and serve as a catalyst for the creation of new knowledge.
The CSUL joins NFAIS's current membership of libraries and library-related organisations: Carnegie Mellon University Libraries; University of Florida's George A. Smathers Libraries; National Agricultural Library (U.S. Department of Agriculture); National Library of Medicine (National Institutes of Health); National Transportation Library (U.S. Department of Transportation); and the American Theological Library Association.
