The Purdue library system has proven itself well-equipped to put these resources to good use, expanding research capabilities and strengthening the services available to its students, faculty, and university community. As a Boilermaker myself, I am proud to see Purdue receive this funding to boost its important work.”

IMLS awarded Purdue three grants, one through its National Leadership Grants for Librariesprogram and two through its Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program.
