Giving to the HRC Library
Giving to the HRC Library supports the academic research of the BEG as
well as the intellectual needs of industry. Gifts of any type or amount
can help enrich our holdings, expand our services, and preserve our collections.
All contributions promote the mission of the Library: "...to strive
for excellence in providing access to information for the worldwide community
of geoscientists. Working with members of the community, the Houston Research
Center Library supports the life-long learning efforts of the Library
users."
While donations of library materials such as books, periodical runs,
maps, etc. are always appreciated, monetary contributions can address
the Library’s most serious needs and ultimately provide superior
service to Library users. Giving can be accomplished by mailing or personally
delivering library materials, cash or check. The Library will acknowledge
a gift as the donor sees fit, within reason. Book plates, plaques, and
other forms of announcement are only a few examples of methods of acknowledgement.
For more information, please contact Randy McDonald.
