Additional considerations include availability of space for collection growth, staff availability, and financial support to integrate the donated materials into the existing collection. Only unrestricted gifts will be accepted. Standard bookplates, with space for dedications, may be placed in donated volumes. Special bookplates may be designed and funded by the donor, the College, or other outside source. Gifts will be acknowledged in writing.
Materials are primarily in English.
Key works available only in foreign languages will be considered for acquisition, particularly if the language is one of special interest. Format and Condition Considerations Monographs, periodicals, special issues of periodicals, periodical indexes and abstracts, conference proceedings, and bibliographies are collected. Computer file, microfilm, microfiche, CD-ROM, online versions, audiocassettes, and videocassettes are formats that may be collected. Plans, maps, drawings, and photos will be collected in areas of special interest for the programs of the College. Buildings of national or international interest will also be collected at the request of faculty.
