Building the Scholarly Collections
Ensuring Penn's scholarly resources through endowment
Joe Glossberg decided to become a collection-builder because of his love of Penn - and of  music.
Joseph Glossberg "I have been immersed in music all my life," says Library Overseer Joseph B. Glossberg, W'63, WG'65. When I was chair of the Library Board of Overseers, I saw a way to support my love for music, and broaden the range of music available for Penn students. I created an endowed acquisition fund at the Library." The income from the Joseph B. Glossberg Fund is used to enhance Libraries' music resources, especially in the area of jazz recordings.
