Outreach

Commitment to service is at the center of Fogler’s outreach initiatives. We work with students, faculty, staff, alumni, local businesses, government, and community members to fulfill the needs of our users. We believe the campus library serves as a focal point for education, research, management, and collections as well the infrastructure to support their use.
