Wednesday

UCI Giving Day Today an academic library is not just a building with books and librarians; it is an information powerhouse that fosters discovery and learning across the campus and within the community. Sure, UCI Libraries still provides print resources and subject librarians; in addition, the Libraries provides access to everything from three-dimensional printing and digital scholarship services to public programming and community archiving. We are truly a Gateway to Knowledge. Supporting UCI Libraries serves as an investment in the educational, research and professional development goals of the entire community from undergraduate students embarking on their higher education journey to long-standing community members seeking new forms of understanding and engagement.
