The faculty,
graduate students, and general university community, feeling an
urgent need to improve dramatically the funding for collections of
Fogler Library, have established an endowment that will
demonstrate to the legislature and the State of Maine the
importance of the library to the research, teaching, and service
mission of the University. This fund is called the Library Fund
for Excellence (hereafter LIFE). Collections are defined as books,
journals, and media in any format. The Library Advisory Committee
of the Faculty Senate seeks full participation of the university
community in contributing to the LIFE. Details on the campaign and
procedures for contribution are forthcoming.
BE IT RESOLVED
THAT
Faculty Senate
champions the Library Fund for Excellence (LIFE) initiative and
encourages participation.
