Thank you for supporting our future

You help strengthen not only the libraries but also our beloved university as a whole. Each and every student and faculty member needs the resources offered under our roof, which you help make available.

Many of you support the growth of our collections through your commitment and membership to the Friends of the Library organization. Others support specific areas such as facility improvements (more student study space), technology (electronic databases, computers and e-books) and archives. Some even provide support by donating collections that benefit many individuals (students, faculty, scholars and community members) in their research.

Gifts come both through direct financial support and in-kind donations. Some of you even choose to make the libraries the beneficiary of a planned gift. In this issue, we are pleased to share a list of our 2013 donors.

No matter how you give, each and every one of your gifts is valuable to the University Libraries and the thousands we service daily. We are so very grateful for your generosity and support. Once again, thank you.

If you have any thoughts or questions regarding supporting the University Libraries, please feel free to contact me at 662-915-3181 or ambarlow@olemiss.edu.
