Because the Libraries serve all students and faculty regardless of department or major, gifts to the Miami University Libraries impact a broad cross-section of the University's population. Gifts to the Libraries help Miami's students and scholars achieve the level of excellence consistent with Miami's reputation and with the First in 2009 vision statement.
Your generosity helps Miami by enriching the collections of books, online resources, and face-to-face services which the Libraries provide to our faculty and students.
