Since its founding, UCI Libraries have been a member of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), helping ensure access to United States government public records.

Through FDLP libraries, the US Government Publishing Office (GPO) provides free public access to US federal documents and resources. Serving as a FDLP member entails maintaining a physical collection of materials as well as, increasingly, helping library patrons navigate the vast collection of US government materials available online.

See our 2024 update for the most up to date list of UCI Libraries collections and resources related to Womxn's History Month. 

UCI Libraries invite you to celebrate this Womxn’s History Month with the help of our resources. Learn about women who have been historically influential, current issues affecting women, and media created by women! Resources include items such as films, books, and archives and are available year-round.

A new exhibit at the Irvine City Hall, Old Town Irvine, offers a glance into the city of Irvine in the 1980s through photographs, a few of which are from UCI Libraries Special Collections and Archives.

An installment of the Art at City Hall series, which features local artists, a significant portion of the exhibit’s images are by commercial photographer Rene Laursen.

A recent study published in the Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship helps measure the impact of librarians’ efforts to support campus entrepreneurs. As part of a multiyear partnership with UCI’s Beall Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, UCI Libraries supplied information literacy training and research support for the New Venture Competition, an annual campus-wide entrepreneurship competition.

In honor of Black History Month, UCI Libraries have gathered a list of resources and materials that highlight the history, heritage, art, and scholarship of Black Americans. From books, films, and music to research and news archives, we hope these materials will spark discussions about race and representation around campus and within our community. 

Unless otherwise noted, these materials are open to the public and available at no cost throughout the year as part of UCI Libraries’ ongoing effort to share resources that highlight Black history and culture.

Published in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare’s death, Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories & Tragedies was the first compilation of his plays, half of which had never been published before. Without the First Folio, 18 of Shakespeare’s most popular plays would have been lost to audiences, including Macbeth, Taming of the Shrew, and Twelfth Night.
