A $250,000 grant from the National Women’s Committee helped fund the automation of the card catalogue in the libraries. This marked the start of a multi-million dollar technology program, much of it funded through the Women’s Committee’s Library Technology Fund. Women’s Committee donations eventually upgraded the libraries’ wiring infrastructure and computer to create 900 state-of-the-art access points to the Internet for students, faculty and library staff.
