37 SPEC Kit 355: Campus-wide Entrepreneurship
The business library receives funds from the Small Business Development Center as well as the
Entrepreneurship Learning Community for resource support.
The business school contributes some funds.
The main funds come from the University Libraries main budget. However, several colleges have put
in money for various resources to help purchase different databases and data tools mainly. For example
the College of Business database funds several different databases, the Law Libraries also helps out
with various databases, and the award-winning Career Center Library purchases different databases
and cooperatively purchases with University Libraries.
The patent database and materials we receive are provided free of charge by the US government
because we are a depository library. The main library budget supports databases used for business
classes. The other sources of funds are endowed funds.
We have a library student technology fee that supports equipment and software purchases.
