Cornell University Library

Support a core academic resource

One of the leading academic research libraries in the United States, Cornell University Library serves the entire community. In addition to its traditional role, the library extends information access to a global population via cutting-edge digital technologies. The library seeks endowment and project support to endow key positions for highly trained librarians, archivists, and conservators; to acquire new collections; and to provide financial assistance to more students through endowed student worker positions. To start a giving conversation, contact Jennifer Sawyer, director for external relations, 607-255-9568, jds367@cornell.edu.
