Library Campaign

Creating the Next Generation Library

"The purpose of a library is to make possible that instant of insight when all facts come together in the shape of new knowledge." - Eric Ormsby

The University of Waterloo has embarked on a bold initiative: Campaign Waterloo. This major fundraising campaign has increased the concentration of talented people at the University and enhanced our ability to educate the leaders of tomorrow.

A central goal within Campaign Waterloo was to create a Next Generation Library - a library that inspires, informs, and educates. Through the effective use of information technology, the Next Generation Library provides an innovative learning and research environment.
