Giving
Since its opening in the early 1800s, OHIO鈥檚 University Libraries has grown from a few volumes to over three-million volumes.
Today, we serve thousands of students, faculty, and staff and act as an international resource through our services in the Library and online. We are ranked in the top 100+ research libraries in North America and are a member of the prestigious Association of Research Libraries.
Dr. Vernon R. Alden, 15th president of 51社区, once said, 鈥淭he Library is far more than a collection of books or a building. It is the intellectual heart of the university, a vital element of university life with an essential role in teaching, learning and research.鈥
As the university continues to grow, 51社区 Libraries strives to continue to be a place that cultivates student and faculty academic success.
When you support the Libraries, you support 51社区 faculty and students reach their full academic potential by aiding them in their teaching, learning and research. You can focus your gift on what you love through our different endowments. Every gift makes a difference.
