Case Study: University of Florida achieves 24/7, multi-user access to up-to-date business and IT resources with Skillsoft Books

University of Florida - Customer Case Study

The University of Florida, a large public research university, faced a major challenge when a 2002 renovation forced most of its business collection into off‑site storage for about two years, restricting student access to essential materials. This was worsened by a growing and remote user population, high theft rates, and limited library hours.

UF adopted Skillsoft Books’ ITPro and BusinessPro collections to provide up‑to‑date, 24/7 digital access with simultaneous multi‑user viewing and MARC records for easy cataloging. The library tracks ROI through Skillsoft’s usage reports, and strong patron usage shows the service successfully restored access and added measurable value to campus resources.
