Florida Academic Repository
About FLARE
The Florida Academic Repository (FLARE) is a collaborative venture among the members of the
Florida State University System (SUS) Libraries and the University of Miami. A Statewide Storage
Task Force (SSTF) was established with membership from all eleven SUS Libraries, as well as
representatives from the Independent College and Universities of Florida and the Florida College
System, in anticipation of future participation.
The goal of the Shared Collection is to provide participants with highly cooperative solutions for the
storage of low use library materials. The SUSSC will be housed in an environmentally controlled,
carefully inventoried and secure high density facility located in Gainesville and administratively
hosted by the University of Florida. Materials from participating libraries will be voluntarily and
permanently transferred to the Shared Collection and made available for retrieval by means of a
Florida specific unmediated borrowing service, through traditional interlibrary loan, or by electronic
delivery.
The Florida Virtual Campus (FLVC)
The Florida Virtual Campus (FLVC), in consultation with the University of Florida, has created the
Florida Academic Repository (FLARE) library in both Aleph and Mango. This establishes FLARE as a
distinct collection, separate from other State University System (SUS) library collections. FLARE
holdings will display in the Mango union catalog as a separate institutional holding that is available
to all patrons, regardless of the patron's home library. They will display by default, not hidden under
the "Show all Locations" option.
Requests for these items can be made through UBorrow. Items will be loaned for 60 days with a 30
day renewal available. To search for FLARE materials in Mango, users can limit the search by
searching "Selected Libraries: "Florida Academic Repository" or by using the "Subcollection: Florida
Academic Repository" checkbox in the facets located on the left of the search screen.
SUS libraries will have the option to display FLARE in their local catalog. Please place a request via
the RT HelpDesk Mango queue to request this option.
