Current priorities
Learning environment
Did you know you can enhance and upgrade study space in all of our libraries to meet the needs of our students? McMaster's libraries are the busiest buildings on campus. We see close to two million patron visits each year. Supporting upgrades to our libraries allows us to do more to support our students, from replacing old study carrels to upgrading the technology in our study rooms.
Digitization
We want to make our world-class collections available to the world for centuries to come. Supporting the digitization program provides us with critical funds to preserve and digitize one-of-a-kind materials, making them accessible to students and scholars around the world.
Collections
We’re always buying books, journal subscriptions, or rare materials. Giving to our collections enables us to provide access to the scholarly materials our students and instructors need.
