Library and Resource Room

The state-of-the-art modern main Florida National University (FNU) Library is located on the second floor of the JR Building of the Hialeah campus. The library has a maximum capacity of 380 people. The main FNU library also serves the Distance Learning Department. The library provides eighteen individual and group-study rooms, a conference room, and a Law Library. One of the purposes of the FNU library is to provide student-focused services such as academic support and the curricular needs of the university. Therefore, library staff oversee the acquisition, organization, maintenance, and provision of timely access to library materials in a variety of formats. These efforts reflect current advances in academic and professional knowledge, as well as information technology. As part of this mission, the library supports student and faculty research, the use of evolving information formats, and techniques that seek to encourage lifelong learning.

The main FNU Library at the Hialeah Campus, the South Campus Resource Room, and the Training Center Resource Room are operated by professional library staff: Librarians, Library Assistants, and Library Clerks. The library staff assists in locating research materials, as well as instructing users in the effective use of library resources and major equipment. Library resources include physical materials such as collections of books and multimedia; electronic resources such as computers, copiers, along with online databases and websites that can be accessed 24/7 from any location. The library provides free WiFi access, allowing access to online full text periodicals, scholarly journals, and electronic books.

The library webpage is available at the https://www.fnu.edu/library/ with access to the Library Catalog, the LIRN virtual library with eResources and eServices, and other digital resources. The password to LIRN is updated every year and can be found via an instructional tutorial, the professors, or the library staff. Additionally, the library’s webpage provides the FNU Library locations for all campuses, hours of operation, and contact information.
