Endowments Provide Support for Faculty Research and Collection Ohio University's Alden Library purchases more than $100,000 in library materials each academic year in response to faculty requests for research materials. Through two endowments, the library has awarded $69,000 in response to faculty requests to acquire research collections with a second round of proposals due May 1. The 1804 Special Library Endowment was established to add rare and notable collections to the library. The Arts and Humanities Junior Faculty Endowment aims to help recruit and support new tenure-track faculty members by acquiring research materials in their areas of interest. Created with substantive funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, materials acquired for the Junior Faculty Endowment must reflect a humanistic approach to academics. For more information on endowment funds and the proposal format, contact Kent Mulliner, collection development coordinator, 593-2707 or mulliner@ohio.edu.
