Ohio University Libraries News and Events

Jan Maxwell, the Libraries’ Assistant Dean for Collection Development, has announced the timetable for applications for 1804 and Arts and Humanities Junior Faculty Endowments for this academic year. The deadline for submitting applications is Monday, April 30, 2007. Awards will be announced four weeks later, on May 25.

The 1804 Special Library Endowment Fund is to enable the Ohio University Libraries to achieve distinction in selected collecting areas by responding to special purchase opportunities. The Endowment Fund is not used for acquiring publications of the kind that would normally be purchased from departmental library allocations, no matter how legitimately they may be needed. Rather, Endowment monies are applied toward the purchase of collections and, in some cases, individual items of rare or otherwise extraordinary value. For more information about the fund and the application process, see our page on the 1804 Endowment Fund.

The Arts and Humanities Junior Faculty Endowment Fund makes available acquisitions funds to selected junior faculty members (tenure-track Group I faculty with probationary appointments and no more than five years of full-time service to the university) doing research in the arts and the humanities. For more information about the fund and the application process, see our page on the Arts and Humanities Junior Faculty Endowment Fund.
