Library Anniversary Book Fund
The Environment
These are exciting times at Alfred State! As we evolve into an institution that is offering more four-year programs, we are challenged to meet the needs of our students and faculty. Teaching and learning require excellent library resources.
In order to maintain access to electronic indexes and databases, purchase books and periodicals, and build the partnerships necessary for first-rate library service, we must rely on help from college alumni and friends. Private support is now an essential element of our goal of expanding excellence at ASC.
The Challenge
Information is expanding rapidly. Price increases for library materials far exceed the general rate of inflation. Continual investments in technology are necessary to access new forms of information. The ASC Library is working to seek solutions to these challenges by purchasing materials in new formats, developing innovative methods of managing information, and promoting cooperative sharing of resources.
How You Can Help
In the late fall of 1965, hundreds of students took part in a marathon "book brigade" that on a single day moved more than 20,000 volumes from the old library on the Alfred University campus to the new facility a half-mile across the valley.
In 2005, as part of its 40th Year activities, the Library established an anniversary book fund. You are invited to donate to this fund. To learn about other ways you can make a gift to Hinkle Library, please contact:
