Last Revision: April 20, 2010
The purpose of the library's gift program is to support the library by accepting materials and/or monetary donations.
Factors considered in deciding whether to accept a gift include the needs of the collection, technical processing costs, physical condition, location and space, maintenance requirements, and donor restrictions. The library reserves the right to determine the retention, cataloging treatment, and other considerations related to the use or disposition of donated materials.
The acceptance of major gifts (i.e. gifts requiring an extraordinary commitment of space or gifts accompanied by specific management requirements) shall be negotiated and authorized by the library director and the vice president for development, subject to approval by the provost and vice president for academic affairs and the president.
The library does not appraise gifts. The cost of any appraisal is the responsibility of the donor.
