Dean's Fund
Our Libraries touch all OHIO students. All students benefit from the print and electronic resources available, whether they major in the sciences or the humanities, the arts or education.
Our 17 subject librarians are information experts on the Libraries鈥 resources and literature in a wide variety of fields. These professionals understand the subjects as they are taught at OHIO and also grasp the research interests of faculty in their assigned units. They continually engage with their academic departments and create mutually-beneficial relationships.
Our librarians spend 1,200 hours a year instructing students on how to best conduct research and find pertinent materials. Unlike 帝王会所鈥檚 schools and colleges, however, the Libraries don鈥檛 have their own 鈥済raduates鈥 who may one day be moved to give back. Instead, University Libraries relies on the generous people who believe in the power of the Libraries and choose to support it with a gift to the Dean鈥檚 Fund. Often, these individuals were deeply engaged with and relied on the Libraries for their research, which in turn, created in them a deep appreciation of our work.
Together, we will build the Dean鈥檚 Fund into a robust resource.
This fund will be one that the Libraries can readily tap into to seize opportunities as they arise, such as the chance to host highly-skilled librarians from other countries whose skills and native languages would help us quickly facilitate the organization of materials donated to the Libraries.
