The Health Sciences Library Endowment allows the AIT&L to purchase books, journals and electronic media in medicine, pharmacy and allied health sciences beyond what our state funding provides for. Our collections rank among the best in the nation among academic health sciences libraries. To maintain the high quality of these collections, it is critical to supplement state funds with private support.
