J. Don Edwards

James Don Edwards, the Tull Professor of Accounting Emeritus who retired from UGA in 1998 as interim dean of the Terry College of Business, has been inducted into the Accounting Hall of Fame.
The Accounting Hall of Fame was established in 1950 at Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business and has since honored only 69 influential and respected accountants from academe, accounting practice, government and business. The hall’s international board of electors selects the honorees.
Edwards’s portrait and citation will be displayed at the Hall of Fame on the campus of Ohio State University. Edwards is only the 29th academician in 52 years to be elected to the Accounting Hall of Fame.

This past year UGA’s ILL lending staff supplied more than 12,500 books and copies to libraries throughout the state of Georgia.
In fiscal year 2001, the UGA Interlibrary Loan Department processed approximately 65,000 requests from other libraries and more than 13,000 requests from UGA users. The department supplied material to and borrowed from every state in the union and many foreign countries.
