The number of books and periodicals published every year is growing. Yet, because the library's budget does not keep pace with inflation, fewer works may be added each year to the collection. If the University is to continue to attract fine students and faculty, the library must provide the intellectual dialogue available in scholarly books, journals, and databases. If you prefer, the subject may be chosen by the library staff. Gift bookplates may be placed in donated volumes at the request of the donor.
All gifts become the property of the library.
The library staff will determine whether the gift will be retained, where it will be shelved or located, and how it will be cataloged and circulated. Materials not added to the collection may be sold. Acknowledgments All gifts from identified donors, both monetary and material in kind, will be acknowledged if donors wish this. Donors who intend to deduct the value of their gifts for income tax purposes are encouraged to contact their tax attorneys or their accountants. Appraisals Federal laws do not allow the library to make appraisals.
