James M. Milne Library Endowment

Dedicated to supporting the instructional and research activities of the college, the Milne Library has been recognized by our students and faculty as an important part of their educational experience.  Students have regularly given high ratings to the Library on the Student Opinion Survey. 

Our Library is a source of pride and enhances the reputation of our College. The attractive, five-story building located in the center of campus offers expert research advice, an excellent print and audio-visual collections, space for individual and group study, a café serving specialty coffees and light refreshments, as well as a well-equipped Technology Center featuring over 100 computers, a presentation rehearsal room, and video editing stations.

To supplement the print collections, the web site serves as a gateway to resources beyond the library's walls. The Library’s annual budget provides much of these resources. However costs of books, periodicals, electronic and other non-print resources have increased dramatically in recent years, greatly outpacing inflation. The Milne Library endowment allows us to maintain the margin of excellence that has resulted in the excellent library collection that our College has built over many years.

Whether you are an alumnus/a, parent, student, faculty, staff or friend, we would welcome your support for our library by making a gift to the College at Oneonta Foundation for the Milne Library Endowment. Click here to donate to the James M. Milne Library Endowment.
