Give to UO Libraries
Every student. Every major. Every campus.
The UO Libraries plays a crucial role in all teaching, learning, and research activities on campus and in the broader preservation of the human knowledge and cultural record. From the UO Portland Library to the Knight Library at the heart of campus in Eugene, each of our seven libraries contributes to creating knowledge and promoting excellence in all academic pursuits. A gift to the UO Libraries has the broadest possible impact on campus because we serve all students and faculty across all schools, colleges, and disciplines.

This requires an increased acquisition of new resources and investment in human capital, advanced technologies, and re-imagined facilities.
