University of Florida Marston Science Library

The Marston Science Library at the University of Florida is a multi-story facility housing extensive collections of scientific literature, research materials, and digital resources. The building contains well-organized sections serving different scientific and technical disciplines where students and researchers find the resources they need.

The library was created in 1987 when the university consolidated several separate science branch libraries into one central location. This merger brought together scattered resources and created a unified research hub for students across all scientific disciplines.

The library serves students and researchers working in agriculture, engineering, mathematics, and natural sciences through curated collections tailored to these fields. People using these spaces become part of a scholarly community where subject-specific materials shape how academic work develops.

Visitors can reserve group study rooms and borrow technology equipment for their work. Subject librarians are available to help with finding sources and navigating research databases.

The library processes interlibrary loan requests from institutions worldwide when materials are not available in the university collection. This allows researchers to access resources from beyond the campus when their specific needs require it.
