9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ’s undergraduate students are important donors to the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Libraries. The Students' Society of 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ in cooperation with the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Alumni Association created the Library Improvement Fund (LIF) in 1996, setting the stage for a ground-breaking donation of $500,000 to 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Libraries.
The LIF continues to raise significant funds annually in support of the Library. In recognition of the importance of the libraries to the mission of the entire university, the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Fund Council has matched the students generosity every year.
Through student funding, LIF committees have created and maintained excellent, highly-used services, facilities improvements and expanded collections. Funding has facilitated much-needed 24-hour study space, improved collections, and substantially improved the physical appearance of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library (HSSL).
