Our Crowdfunding Groups
Welcome to Week Two!
We've already made some progress toward our goal, and we appreciate everyone who has donated so far. We still have a long way to go, though! We have an ambitious goal to support UT Libraries Global Initiatives, and we can only get there with everyone's help!
For week two, we're focusing in on the important work the UT Libraries Global Studies Liaison Librarians do. We will be highlighting Liaison Librarians, and we have a video about Mary Rader's collaboration with partners in South Asia on the Sajjad Zaheer Digital Archive. Stay tuned to our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the Librarian highlights over the next few weeks, and keep an eye out for our email with the Video about the Zaheer Archive!
As we push for a successful week two, we ask that you do whatever you can to help us in this campaign. Whatever you can do helps us reach our goal, whether it's a donation of any size, getting the word out to people you know, or donating your time by being an ambassador. It all supports UT Libraries Global Initiatives, the Global Studies Liaison Librarians, and bringing the world to UT Austin!
If you're interested in becoming an Ambassador for this campaign or you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the UT Libraries Development Team at derek.pruitt@austin.utexas.com or katie.jordan@austin.utexas.com
