¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµâ€™s undergraduate students are important donors to the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ Libraries. The Students' Society of ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ in cooperation with the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ Alumni Association created the Library Improvement Fund (LIF) in 1996, setting the stage for a ground-breaking donation of $500,000 to ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ Libraries.

The LIF continues to raise significant funds annually in support of the Library. In recognition of the importance of the libraries to the mission of the entire university, the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ Fund Council has matched the students generosity every year.

Through student funding, LIF committees have created and maintained excellent, highly-used services, facilities improvements and expanded collections. Funding has facilitated much-needed 24-hour study space, improved collections, and substantially improved the physical appearance of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library (HSSL).
