  • Thurlow Lieurance Memorial Music Library

University Libraries FY 2013 Priorities:

 Immediate Priorities
 

Targeted Collection Support


A number of endowments support various subject areas, but there is a crucial need for more, specifically in the area of scholarly collections (one-time purchases of large book and digital collections), library materials to support student success activities (including rental of textbooks) and library materials to support new campus research initiatives or new academic programs. Joint partnerships with individual college's fundraising priorities will be appropriate.

 

 

 

 Emerging Priorities
 

 

 

 Visionary Priorities
 

Named Facilities Enhancement(s)

Several areas of the Ablah Library are in need of remodeling or repurposing for evolving student needs, including the possibility of an Information Commons, team project areas and effective
learning areas.

 

Endowed Professorship/Chair

Several positions have potential for supplemental funds through the Faculty of Distinction program, including Special Collections, Digital Collections and Dean of University Libraries.

Innovative Technologies

Opportunities for replacement of aging technologies and implementation of emerging technologies to manage library systems and digital content in the future.
