August 13, 2008: UCLA Receives Mellon Grant to Catalog Rare Books
"The UCLA Library has received a generous $750,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to catalog more than 55,000 rare books and make them more accessible to users."
"'It will promote learning, research and the creation of new knowledge by greatly improving online access to information about our rare and unique books, which will make them more visible and useful to scholars both at UCLA and around the world,' said University Librarian Gary E. Strong."
