University Libraries

 

The year 2017 marked the 50th anniversary of BGSU’s University Libraries. The William T. Jerome Library is a user-centered academic library that brings people and knowledge together. We are seeking support to maintain the excellence in support of the Library Enrichment Fund. Support is needed to maintain collections, and support important Library services and programs for students, faculty and staff. 

 

Giving to the University Libraries helps provide students and faculty with instant access to over seven million volumes, including scholarly journals, as well as extensive electronic resources, manuscripts, rare books, realia, sound recordings and graphic and audio-visual materials – helping them perform research that can change the world.  Help us continue to bring high-quality resources and services to the BGSU community. Your gift makes a difference.

 

Attention Polka Enthusiasts:

In conjunction with #BGSUOneDay, Music Publishers of America and Steve Harris '71 have agreed to match all donations, up to $2,500, in support of the Vitak-Elsnic polka collection at BGSU Libraries. Your gift will help preserve and promote awareness and utilization of this invaluable collection. To help preserve polka at BGSU, click "Give Now" and select the Vitak-Elsnic Polka Preservation Fund from the fund drop down selection menu.
