University Libraries
From the 2007-08 Giving to Duke Annual Report:
The renovation of Perkins Library continues. The transformed second, third, and fourth floors opened in the summer of 2008, featuring new stacks, offices, meeting rooms, and study spaces. By the fall, the "Link," a technology-rich teaching and learning center, opened on lower floor one. Planning continues for the renovation of the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library. Gifts to the libraries in 2007-08 supported the renovation project and collections, and also a campus- wide initiative to identify, preserve, and provide access to Duke's diverse digital assets. In 2008-09, fund-raising is focused on the Perkins Project, the Annual Fund, and endowment.
2007-08 Cash Total: $7.3M
