Learning and Research Activities Endowment
With the exponential increase in the quantity of information resources available to students and faculty, the Library is increasingly engaged in services that will help these readers get to the information they need. Through its Electronic Library Initiatives (ELI) and other programs, Library staff collaborate with undergraduate and graduate faculty and with colleagues in Information Technology Services in innovative models for pedagogy and teaching support. Librarians provide over 10,000 sessions every year to classes using collections as part of their learning; and innumerable individual consultations in person and by email and over the internet are part of the daily work of the Library. Gifts of $100,000 or more to a library fund for learning and research can sustain and enhance the Library's instruction and reference programs; helping students and faculty to find and use what they need from the virtually limitless range of information available
