UC Berkeley Library Collection Hits 10-Million Mark

 

The University Library has acquired its 10-millionth volume this fall, bringing to the university a range of literary curiosities from ancient Egyptian papyri to a collection on the Swiss Enlightenment. Many of the ten representative items, including a signed letter from Father Junipero Serra, were donated, but a few were purchased in the six-figure range through donor contributions, Leonard said. "If you want the book to have influence and be appreciated, you want to put it in a library where graduate students and faculty could get the greatest intellectual value on it," he said. "That's something that Berkeley has that a private collector wouldn't."

The University Library, which includes the Moffitt, Doe, Bancroft, and over twenty subject-speciality libraries on campus, has been rated by the Association of Research Libraries as one of the premier college libraries in the nation, on par with such universities as Harvard University and Yale University. http://www.dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=20716
