GIVING TO THE LIBRARY
Today's students, researchers, and faculty expect information 24/7 days a week, wherever they may be. The Library is the heart of the campus: a place of knowledge and resources.
That Library is constantly seeking to improve its resources, create new services to engage more learners, encourage collaboration, create a comfortable atmosphere and use new technologies.
ISU alumni have always been strong supporters of the International Space University library. Your gift will allow us to increase our printed and online collections for the benefit of students, faculty and the community. Donors can support the collection and service by gifts-in-kind (i.e. your published book with a dedication!) or make a donation to the Library.
