The 2007 Florida Legislature amended Florida Statutes, Section 1009.24, to establish a technology fee beginning with the fall term of the 2009-2010 academic year. The revenue from this fee shall be used to enhance instructional technology resources for students and faculty.
Since the creation of the Technology Fee, the University of Central Florida Libraries has submitted, and has been awarded funding for, several technology based projects. These projects range from acquiring new digital collections and resources for student use, to new technology for student checkout, and even the renovation and creation of the Knowledge Commons on the second floor of the John C. Hitt Library. In total, the UCF Libraries has been awarded $5,196,394 in Technology Fee money.
