FUNDS AVAILABLE TO US:
National Endowment for the Humanities : NEHD6 (Tangible materials)
National Endowment for the Humanities: NEHD9 (Electronically-accessed materials)
Government Documents and Data Services have some NEH grant money to spend on monographic purchases. Because we are the Docs unit, there needs to be a government component in any purchase we make using this fund. This fund does not expire; we do not have to spend it all up by the end of the fiscal year.
Miscellaneous monographs : MISG1 - (Tangible materials)
Miscellaneous monographs : MISG5 - (Ebooks)
Government Documents is part of a “Miscellaneous Group” that can dip into a collective pool of funds when it finds a book it needs to support or supplement the depository collection. (Members in the Miscellaneous Group include Government Documents, Data Services, and General Reference.) Government publications unavailable through the depository program are candidates for purchase. Regarding commercial publications, we use this fund when the government component of a book is very strong but it does not fall into the subject areas of other librarians. For example, we would probably not use it to buy a book simply because it is about political or military science. However, subject selectors tend to look at books published by scholarly commercial publishers and may miss worthy books published by small presses. MISG funds can be used to purchase any books pertaining specifically to Missouri which we believe would be of research value to our users.
The National Endowments for the Humanities define humanities as including the following disciplines:
