Nova Southeastern University Student Handbook 73 University Libraries The university library system is composed of the Alvin Sherman Library, Research, and Information Technology Center, the Martin and Gail Press Health Professions Division Library, the Panza Maurer Law Library, the Oceanographic Campus Library, and the Tampa Bay Regional Campus Library. The 325,000-square-foot Alvin Sherman Library is a joint-use facility with the Broward County Board of County Commissioners. It serves students and faculty and staff members of NSU, as well as residents of Broward County. The five-story structure encompasses electronic classrooms, group-study rooms, a café, Ann Porterfield digital media lab and creative makerspace, and service desks with staff trained and ready to serve library users. Collections of print and electronic resources support the research of students and faculty and staff members. A large spacious atrium houses educational art pieces. The second-floor reference desk is clearly visible to students and enhanced by The NSU Glass Garden created by glass artist Dale Chihuly for the Sherman Library. Also on the second floor is the Craig and Barbara Weiner Holocaust Museum, as well as the Adolfo and Marisela Cotilla Gallery that features visiting exhibits and cultural events throughout the year. Overall, the university’s libraries house more than one million items. Interlibrary Loan agreements through organizations such as the Online Computer Library Center, the Southeast Florida Library Information Network, the Consortium of Southeastern Law Libraries, and the National Library of Medicine provide broad access to a wide range of materials.
