What kinds of materials does the Library accept as gifts?
A. All gift offers receive careful consideration by the Library. Materials appropriate for acceptance are those which enhance the strength of existing collections, including specialized collections; recently published scholarly monographs in subjects collected by the Library; and additional copies of high-use items. Materials which fall outside the Library’s collecting policy, such as outdated textbooks, duplicate copies of rarely used items, materials in poor physical condition, or most journals, are without utility to the Library and thus cannot be accepted.
