Abstract

A digital bookplate program that recognizes all levels of gifts provides the library fundraiser with a flexible platform from which to steward and cultivate donors. Digital bookplates can be used to recognize donations to library priorities beyond collections and are a useful tool for establishing collaborative relationships with other campus fundraising units. As libraries move further into the digital world, digital bookplates provide new opportunities for donor engagement.
