New Century Library Endowment Fund The New Century Library Endowment Fund, a $2.5 million collection endowment, was created to meet the widening gap between state funding and the escalating costs of supporting biomedical research in a top-ranked university. Though expendable funds are needed to meet current needs, an endowment is an investment in the Health Sciences Library as an essential partner to the success of all health related programs and activities supported by the University. Not only are journal costs rising, but with the increase in research and new research fields at the University, a strong endowment is more important than ever before. |

William B. Blythe Memorial Fund for the History of the Health Sciences The Health Sciences Library has embarked on a campaign to endow the Dr. William B. Blythe Memorial Fund to help support the history of the health sciences and establish a curatorship for the rare and historical books collection. This fund will enable the historical and rare books areas of the library to be properly equipped with climate controlled storage, casework for exhibits, and specialized equipment for a preservation lab. Dr. Blythe was passionate about medicine and its heritage and wanted to share his enthusiasm with his students and colleagues. This fund will help preserve the history of health care advances for decades to come. |

Gifts in Kind The Health Sciences Library accepts donations of books, journals and other materials that fit into the scope of our collection and do not duplicate our holdings. We are particularly interested in books authored or edited by UNC Health Affairs faculty. We appreciate it when the author signs a gift book. The library is also interested in books that are in good to fine condition of historical importance or those that augment or fill gaps in the collection. We accept specific journal issues or volumes to complete library holdings and occasionally accept large sets of a journal title not in our collection. More details about our gifts-in-kind policies can be found on this page of frequently asked questions: (http://www.hsl.unc.edu/AboutLib/ collections/donating.cfm). If you would like to discuss donating a gift in kind, please contact Resources Management Services, 962-0500 or giftsforhsl@unc.edu.
