Know the Libraries
Purdue Libraries is the information engine that powers learning, research and scholarship on campus and beyond. When you support the Libraries you support resources and technology that make learning and research possible.
The categories below represent major collections and initiatives within the Libraries. If you have a special project or collection that interests you, please contact the Chief Development Officer to discuss ways to focus your giving to an area of special interest.
The easiest way to give to Purdue Libraries is through the Purdue Research Foundation's Online Donation Form. Just select a dollar amount and the Libraries Funds available will be pre-selected for you.
Please mail this form with your payment directly to the Advancement Office:
This fund supports current priorities for collections and initiatives in any of the thirteen libraries on campus or the Purdue University Press. Gifts to this fund provide resources for the dean to respond to the current needs of students and faculty.
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) provides research and travel grants to student researchers. Gifts to OUR support students directly in their research with a Purdue mentor and allows students to travel to conferences to present their results to others in their field.
Founded in 1960 and with over 500 books in print, a dozen journals, and robust scholarly publishing services available to all members of the Purdue community, Purdue University Press produces meaningful works for a scholarly and general audience, with a local and global focus.
This collection preserves not only the history of the university but the personal collections of alumni and colleagues who have impacted the world beyond Purdue. Through names known all over the globe to others whose achievements are celebrated in smaller circles, this collection represents the best of Purdue and anticipates what is yet to be achieved.
This fund supports programming that connects students to the library space as well as the faculty and staff. Because the student experience within the Libraries has such a significant impact in student engagement with resources and materials, a gift to this fund is an investment in scholarship and student success.
With a growing enrollment of more than 40,000 students, this fund provides critical resources for general collections, Libraries services, and programmatic activities that support teaching and learning for our Purdue community.
