It is my privilege to be part of a true circle of friends dedicated to the University of Tennessee libraries. The library Friends are people from many backgrounds who share an appreciation of the libraries' role in higher education and the cultural life of the region. Our goal this year is to expand our circle of friends. We hope that each of you will invite a colleague, friend, or neighbor to make an annual gift to the UT libraries and become a library Friend. One of the primary purposes of the library Library Friends Chair Sandra Williams Friends group is to stimulate private support of the libraries. Many of the dynamic and innovative programs in our excellent library are supported with funding from the library Friends. As a friend of the UT libraries, you receive invitations to the libraries' public programs and lectures, including the Dr. and Mrs. A. H . Lancaster library Friends Lecture Series. Last year we saw an upsurge in attendance at events sponsored by the library Friends. I hope you will be able to attend at least one event this year and see firsthand how the libraries serve as a cultural resource for the community. My own service as the chair of the library Friends has been a wonderful and enriching experience. I have had the opportunity to get to know many dedicated librarians, faculty, students, and citizens who care deeply about the library. Most importantly, I-like all library Friends members-have the satisfaction of directly assisting the libraries in enriching scholarship and research at the University of Tennessee. ~a/~~

2 AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY PLANTF. MRlHCINALR l)E T.A FHANCE FRENCH BOTANICAL JEWEL, WITH A GRACENOTE ON MUSHROOMS By RONALD H. PETERSEN PROFESSOR OF BOTANY

Some months ago Ron Petersen alerted us to the possibility of acquiring Bulliard's Herbal de la France from book dealer Raymond Sutton .{ in Williamsburg Kentucky. Sutton, it turned out, had a number of rare natural history and travel books on consignment, and with the assistance of Linda Phillips, head of Collection Development and Management, and gifts from library friends, we were successful in adding the volumes described by Professor Petersen in the following article.

In a land of excesses, in a social stratum of opulence, in a time of noblesse oblige, Jean Baptiste Francois Bulliard 0752-1793) with his passion for French birds must have appeared as just another coddled idiosyncratic. He was a man of leisure whose main occupation was hunt­ ing and shooting. His book was a treatise on "all the tricks that can be used to catch the birds of France." Bulliard's subsequent efforts centered on botany. In the late 18th century, France could claim a gigantic nobility, estimated at nearly 1.5 percent of the total population. This social rank, of course, comprised both families of enormous wealth and power as well as impecunious folk whose only shred of pride was a heritable title. Without I . , .

3 There the story could end, for acquisition of such a pe­ YI.ANTl!. DE LA FRANCE. PI riod jewel would be justified merely by its unique printing and historical place. It so happens, though, that many of the plates (393, with their text) are of mushrooms, and these plates serve as the first (and sometimes only) representation of these odd organisms. For this reason, Herbier (with its em­ bedded Histoire des Champignons) is a seminal work for my­ cologists (those whose research centers in fungi). The generally accepted father of mushroom-ology was a Swede, Elias Magnus Fries (1787 -1874). A young naturalist prodigy, Fries published prolifically, but did not save speci­ mens of the mushrooms he described. Instead, he commis­ sioned watercolor plates, eventually published. The illustrations (again) are the best representations of what Fries had in mind when he proposed the existence of hun­ dreds of new species. Our Special Col­ lections owns three volumes (all there are): two volumes are entitled Sverige "Narcissus iitliga och giftiga svampar ("Swedish ed­ Pseudo-Narcis- ible and poisonous fungi") and the third SUS," from lcones selectae hymenomycetum nondum Herbier de la delineatorum ("Selected pictures of fungi France.

6 .'OONE, WITH LOVE, FROM UT GRADUATE STUDENTS By LINDA L. PHILLIPS HEAD, COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT & MANAGEMENT

Thanks to the UT Graduate Student Association (GSA) FUN RUN, the Library's collection of online journals is bigger and better. The proceeds from this year's FUN RUN covered nearly the entire cost of a one-year subscription to a high-impact bioscience research journal collection called BioOne. On a nippy Saturday in February nearly three hundred energetic library supporters turned out for the 10th An­ nual GSA Love Your Libraries 5k and Fun Walk. GSA started the FUN RUN in 1992 to emphasize the importance of adequate library funding.

10 For generalists, two collections of TVA publications add a great deal of context to the agency's history. The TVA Pamphlet Collection, 1935-1965 (MS-631), is a five-box collection of fact books and reports covering a wide array of subjects. Some of the areas covered in these pamphlets include education, popu­ lation readjustment, housing, labor, indus­ trial development, forest management, soil research, and tourism in the Tennessee Valley. The TVA Reports Collection, 1933-1973 (MS-828), consists offour boxes of regional summaries, reports from TVA's Social and Economic Division, and a large number of short publications on TVA. With complimentary publications in UT's cataloged holdings, researchers can build a strong contextual framework to supplement the manuscript holdings found in the Special Collections Library. Just as the French Broad and Clinch rivers converge a few miles above Knox­ ville to form the mighty Tennessee, TVA-related manuscripts at UT's Spe­ cial Collections come together to provide a rich documentation of the nearly sev­ enty-year-old agency. While the paper trail of material is widely dispersed across the region and nation, an important pool of information has been collected at the University of Tennessee. The Special Collections Library is not the authorita­ tive repository for TVA, but it is an ex­ cellent starting point for archival research, and future patrons may begin exploring some of our TVA holdings through the Special Collections webpage at: http://www.lib.utk.edu/spcoll/.

19 LINDSAY YOUNG ENDOWMENT ENHANCES LIBRARY'S HUMANITIES COLLECTIONS By MOLLY ROYSE HUMANITIES COORDINATOR

For the thirteenth year, the research collections of UT Library have been greatly enhanced as a result of the gener­ ous Lindsay Young Endowment, which was established so that the Library could purchase "special acquisitions that will make a qualitative difference" in the Library's humanities collections. In April 2002, a committee of humanities teach~ ing faculty and librarians selected for purchase titles that, in the words of one faculty member, "are critical and instru­ mental both for teaching and scholarly research" at the University of Tennessee. A variety of disciplines and areas of study will benefit from this year's purchases. For history, the Library purchased several significant microform research sets that offer compilations of important primary sources. The Clara Barton Papers and a set of the Union Provost Marshal's File of Papers were acquired to complement the Library's holdings in the qvil War. Race, Slavery, and Free Blacks and the Wilberforce Papers on Slavery, Religion, and Politics contributed to the Library's holdings on the history of race in the United States. Two sets of U .S. State Department records will support research on U.S. foreign policy. To support the varying interests of the faculty in Modern Foreign Languages & Literature, two microform collections were purchased that will serve as impor­ tant research tools for the interdisciplinary study of Austrian and German cultural history. A microform collection of 18th and 19th century German journals was added to the Library's collection, and supplements were purchased to update a Library benefactor Lindsay Young. noted Spanish encyclopedia. Researchers in classics will benefit from the purchase of additional volumes 1608-1926.

20 PRIVATE OOLLARS,

As Americans have given to various charitable efforts over the years, they have created many national treasures available to all. Many of these resources would never have been possible with government support alone. Virtually all of the truly great libraries have been made great through gifts from individuals. We are most grateful to the following who have generously supported UT Library during the 2001-02 fiscal year.
