Why support UC Libraries on UC Day of Giving?

Study and research are an important focus of student life during college, and students at the University of Cincinnati have access to state-of-the-art resources. UC’s libraries support the undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs of the university by providing a vast array of intellectual materials including collections of books, periodicals, and professional journals, access to electronic databases and full-text journals, state-of-the-art technology, and appropriate research and study areas. In a world where new discoveries are made every day, information resources are constantly changing. In order to meet the needs of students from UC’s many colleges and units, UC’s libraries must constantly update information resources. To help us in this important endeavor, please consider making a gift to one of the following funds. 

UC Libraries Student Worker Scholarship Fund (F102170) – recognizes a student worker of the UC Libraries, who demonstrates financial need and exemplifies excellence in service, with a scholarship.

UC Fund for Libraries (F101347) - support our greatest need and allows us to put your donation to work immediately.  The commitment to student success has always been at the center of our mission.  Philanthropic investments can ensure students will have access to the scholarly resources, services, collections, and personal assistance which have a direct impact to their academic success at UC.
