Event Title: UCI Giving Day
Date/Time: Wednesday, April 28, 2021
Location: Virtual Event
This UCI Giving Day, your support will expand UCI Libraries collections to increase digital resources that foster diversity, equity and inclusion. Ground-breaking faculty research and high-quality student instruction are made possible with first-rate library collections. A library collection should provide for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people in the community the library serves. In the remote learning environment, eBook and streaming media collections have become more important to support research, teaching, learning and self-exploration of our patrons. Your support will build the Libraries’ vibrant and important collections, with a focus on ebooks, subscriptions, journals and films, so these resources are as diverse as the community we serve.
