May 4, 2021 The UCLA Library has received a $2 million gift from the estate of Irla “Lee” Zimmerman Oetzel, who earned three degrees from UCLA, including a doctorate in psychology in 1953. The unrestricted gift will help the Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library build, maintain, preserve and promote its collection of nearly 700,000 print volumes and thousands of electronic resources, including journals, databases and other materials. “Lee’s bequest reflects her professional background and appreciation for her time spent conducting extensive research in the biomedical library, both as a student and in recent years with intermittent reference requests,” said Virginia Steel, UCLA’s Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian. “The library is extremely grateful to Lee and her estate for this generous gift, and with it, the opportunity to achieve our new strategic directions more quickly.”
