social sciences, the governm ent docum ents 
depository, and distinctive collections in French; 
the Divinity Library which includes a special 
collection o f Judaica materials, and the Special 
Collections and University Archives featuring 
distinctive collections o f the writers known as 
the Fugitives and the Agrarians, materials on 
Southern history and culture, and rare books 
and manuscripts. A separate Science and Engi­
neering Library, located in the Stevenson Cen­
ter in the wing housing the new chemistry build­
ing, includes a U.S. Patent Depository.

T h e  E d u catio n  Library, lo cated  on  the 
Peabody campus, focuses on materials in edu­
cation, educational psychology, special educa­
tion, and literature and curriculum materials for 
children and young adults. Separate libraries 
for Law, Management, and Music are located 
in the buildings housing those schools.

The newest library facility is the Eskind Bio­
medical Library, a $12.5 million, 77,000-square- 
foot state-of-the-art building designed by Davis, 
Brody & Associates. It houses the library, as 
well as the Information Management Depart­
ment o f the Medical Center and the academic 
Division o f Biomedical Informatics.

Off-campus, the library has a small collec­
tion o f astronomy materials at the Dyer Obser­
vatory, and manages an environmentally con­
trolled, 31,000-square-foot storage facility which 
opened in 1988.

W e hope many conference visitors will join 
us on April 11 for tours to som e o f our local 
college and research libraries!
