91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ’s undergraduate students are important donors to the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Libraries. The Students' Society of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ in cooperation with the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Alumni Association created the Library Improvement Fund (LIF) in 1996, setting the stage for a ground-breaking donation of $500,000 to 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ 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 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ 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).
