Giving to OU Libraries
- Oakland University's libraries support the education, research, and public service mission of the University by providing user-centered teaching, services, resources, and learning environments for students, faculty, and staff.
- To carry out this work successfully, the Libraries depend upon the support of generous donors. There are many ways in which you can express your support of Oakland University's Libraries. Your tax-deductible gifts are deeply appreciated and contribute to our students' success and our ability to support faculty research.
RefWorks--A tool that allows you to create a personal database of references and automatically generate formatted bibliographies.
