OSU Fact Book for 1988/89 thru 2001 now available online in SA@OSU!

Our great Digital Productions Unit staff has scanned and loaded to ScholarsArchive all the published issues of the OSU Fact Book – 13 annual issues for 1988/89 thru 2001: http://bit.ly/xt9dF5.

These volumes are an excellent resource for information on OSU academic programs, students (enrollment, residency, gender distribution, minority enrollment, et al.), faculty, budget, finance and facilities, and lots more.  The Fact Book was prepared by the Institutional Research group in the Office of Budgets and Planning [the administrative home of the University Archives before we became a department of the OSU Libraries in 2000].  In addition to a scaled-down version of the OSU chronology, many issues include a “historical” cover and introductory essay.
