Acquisitions...

The Friends help acquire general publications and support rare and otherwise unobtainable scholarly materials that the Libraries' current operating budget cannot provide. With membership gifts, endowments, and other special opportunities, the Friends help develop and sustain a world-class collection.

Technology...

The Friends support innovative projects in library technology and information sharing. Electronic publishing, distance education, digital media, and other cutting-edge initiatives like the Digital Knowledge Center provide leadership for advancing the Library and University in the information age.

Access...

Support from the Friends ensures access to many rare and unique collections. The Lester S. Levy Sheet Music Collection, a remarkable collection of late 19th- and early 20th-century American songs, has been digitized and an online indexed database created with Friends funding.
