Why Give to the Library?
The Kelvin Smith Library is where our students come to study, research, collaborate and get hands-on experience using digital tools and technologies. KSL also makes knowledge accessible to current and future generations by obtaining and preserving information using our digital and physical resources. Our faculty can access resources for research, preserve their intellectual property, engage and collaborate with colleagues, build digital projects, and engage in programming. KSL is also open to the Cleveland community to access resources, materials, expertise, and tools.
Your gift and/or engagement is essential in enabling us to provide resources and services to the campus and broader community. Help us achieve our mission as the knowledge and creativity commons of Case Western Reserve University.
