Interlibrary Loan Service UBorrow Update

The FIU Libraries, along with all State University System (SUS) and Florida College System (FCS) libraries, are in the process of a system migration in order to bring our customers the best service available. As we go through this transition, patrons will experience some changes. 

One of these changes is that the UBorrow function will no longer be available and the link will be removed from the library website. This will be effective as of May 1, 2021 and all UBorrow items currently on loan must be returned on or before April 30, 2021 in order to avoid late fees. Interlibrary loan service will remain in effect throughout the transition to obtain materials that are not available in the FIU Libraries.

UBorrow will be restored as Resource Sharing when the transition is complete. We appreciate your patience during this transition and invite you to contact us with any concerns you may have.

Successful students are invited to participate in the quarter-final video round and then a lucky group of students will be invited to an in person (COVID dependent) 2-day extravaganza in Philadelphia where they will connect with the top students in the Global Challenge from North America, attend masterclasses from world class experts, join mini-challenges to win prizes and from this event we will select a lucky 2 students to win an all-expenses paid trip to our Global Finale Event (at a yet to be disclosed location!) with students from around the world!

The ClinicalKey Global Challenge is totally free and doesn’t require an active subscription to ClinicalKey Student, in fact students will get free access to ClinicalKey Student for the duration of the competition

 Applications are open now!

Round 1 opens on 17th April and students are able to join the competition until 26th April when Rounds 1 and 2 close
