CSUN’s University Library is the jewel in the crown of the campus, renowned for its innovative learning spaces such as the Creative Maker Studio, the Teacher Curriculum Center, and the Learning Commons. We are proud of our aesthetically pleasing and contemplative Gohstand Reading Room, as well as our dynamic, diverse and unique archival collections such as the Bradley Center photographic archives, the International Guitar Research Archives and the Bullough Archives on Sex and Gender. Our students and faculty value and appreciate the University Library as the intellectual heart of the campus, with thousands entering the building each day to study, research, and discover new vistas. Many others reach out to us online, accessing our website for research guides, electronic books and journals, and hundreds of premium databases.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
The University Library supports diversity in its many forms, helping CSUN’s richly diverse student body prepare for lifelong success in the digital age. We partner with each of the university’s academic departments to support efficient access to a wide variety of information resources. Our world-class digital archives — and special collections that are unique to us — enable the pursuit of knowledge for Matadors as well as researchers and scholars from greater Los Angeles and around the world. Our information infrastructure fosters critical thinking, information competence, and innovation and discovery — as well as a growing focus on giving students the tools and skills for knowledge creation. The University Library plays an instrumental role in CSUN students’ journey to becoming the inclusive leaders our society needs to solve the world’s biggest challenges.
Now, we ask you to join us by supporting the education our students need to be a force for a better future.
Your donation supports our mission to serve the research needs of students, faculty, and the wider community, helping us preserve important primary sources, rare books, and unique archives. Your generosity aids in the development of initiatives like the Creative Maker Studio. With your help, we can expand the University Library’s ongoing commitment to providing accessible information resources.
