GIFT POLICY:

The Library welcomes the donation of gift materials provided the donor places no significant limitations on housing, handling or disposition of duplicate, damaged or unwanted items.  The Coordinator of Collection Development reviews all gifts for possible addition to the collection.  Gifts are only added to the collection when they meet the general selection criteria of currency, subject scope, authority, and level of difficulty.

The Library will send formal acknowledgement of gifts to donors for their recordkeeping, but a monetary appraisal of any such materials is the responsibility of the donor.  The Library follows the policies and procedures in the Statement on Appraisal of Gifts adopted by the Association of College and Research Libraries in 1973.
