Social Sciences Endowments: Guidelines

Introduction

The Social Sciences at the University of Tennessee greatly appreciate the commitment of donors willing to help build and strengthen our Libraries collections. Social Sciences Subject Librarians are entrusted with responsibility for the management of several endowment funds and for the selection of important and useful library materials in accordance with the terms of the endowment bequests. The Libraries' Collection Development & Management (CDM) Department produces monthly reports of endowment fund encumbrances and expenditures. An annual report of endowment expenditures is also prepared by CDM and distributed as needed. Overall management of the general social sciences funds is the responsibility of the Libraries' Social Sciences Coordinator (jrow@utk.edu).
