In conjunction with Gen Week (April 11th-15th, 2022), learn about Columbia University Libraries' FLI Lending Library and various resources for lowering the cost of course materials. This information session will be faciliated by Katherine Mora, the FLI Lending Library Student Assistant along with members of Columbia FLI Net. The event is open to all members of the Columbia community-- from students looking for resources for next semester to faculty interested in learning how to better support students.
Located on the fourth floor of Butler Library, Room 406A, the Columbia FLI Partnership Library is a collection of textbooks and other course materials available to low-income and/or first-generation students from one of Columbia University's undergraduate schools: Columbia College (CC), the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), and General Studies (GS), as well as students from Barnard College. Students who identify as first-generation or low-income and who register can borrow materials from the collection for extended loan periods.
Barnard College also maintains the Barnard FLI Partnership Library at the back of the fourth floor of the Barnard Library, and qualified Columbia undergraduates may similarly borrow from that collection.
