Libraries are no longer just a place to learn about the past, they are places to create the future. Ground-breaking faculty research and high quality student instruction are made possible with first-rate collections. Support for the continued acquisition, preservation, and accessibility of material sustains a student’s educational experience, leads researchers to new discoveries, and enhances the Libraries’ role as a major information resource for our community. The UCI Libraries Exhibits Program and other events feature thought-provoking speakers, showcase our diverse library collections, and promote the important scholarly and cultural role of the Libraries to the campus and community.
