  Comments:
added "to make available" for the meaning "役立てる(状態にしておく)" found in shinmeikai. kenkyuusha has an example sentence with that translation: 
・"一般の縦覧に供する open sth to the public; place [put] sth on show; make sth available for public viewing"
also on kenkyuusha, this two other sentence:
・薬用に供する use 《a herb》 as a ┏medicine [remedy] 《for…》; use sth for medicinal purposes
・実験に供する experiment on…; use sth for ┏an experiment [experimental purposes].
should a meaning like "to put to use" be added? I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding the translations or... 
I leave that judgement in the hands of someone more experienced.
