Get involved

The University Libraries is the heart of our campus, providing support to students, faculty, researchers and community members. Our staff -- from the expert subject liaison librarians, the @One tech crew, the digital services lab team, the Special Collections archivists and every position in-between -- is dedicated to supporting learning success. To ensure our next generation of innovators and leaders is well equipped for the future, the University Libraries provides an expansive array of resources, from anatomical models to cutting edge technology and of course, journals and books. Our librarians assist students and researchers while assisting faculty to improve learning outcomes.

Your gift can be directed to support any of these areas or any of our on-going special projects.  Making a gift to the University Libraries makes a positive and concrete impact on learning.  We would love to talk to you about some of our current projects and learn more about what libraries mean to you.
