Founded in 1874, The Urbana Free Library has been serving the Urbana community for nearly 150 years and is one of the oldest public libraries in the state of Illinois. The Library was established when the subscription library model was popular, so the city felt compelled to be clear that the Library was free and open to the public. The name stuck. The Urbana Free Library continues to embody its original mandate to serve the public, while also evolving to serve the ever-changing needs of its patrons.

Through innovation and progressive growth, Wolfram Research continues to thrive as the world's leading technical software company. Its products maintain a reputation for innovation, power, quality and elegance. The company's aim can be summarized: 'Pushing the Envelope of Technical Computing.' While remaining privately-held, Wolfram Research has been continuously profitable and it has thus been able to fund unusually long-term R&D projects and to port Mathematica, its flagship product, to a wide selection of operating systems. The Wolfram Group consists of four companies: Wolfram Research and Wolfram Media in the United States, Wolfram Research Europe in the United Kingdom and Wolfram Research Asia in Japan.
