In order to ensure maximum accessibility of Libraries resources, donors are asked to not request restrictions on housing, access, processing, or related matters. The Libraries also benefits from donations of equipment, such as microcomputers, microform equipment, and compact disc players, which improve service to the University community. The Libraries aspires to support teaching and research with the latest technology. Equipment to assist handicapped users is also of importance to the Libraries. Valuation of Gifts Under federal tax regulations, the Libraries cannot give appraisals or estimates of value for donors.
Valuation is the responsibility of the donor.
The Libraries, however, can provide a list of qualified appraisers upon request. Since tax laws change from time to time, donors are encouraged to consult the IRS or a knowledgeable tax expert about current requirements. All gifts are acknowledged unless requested otherwise. Donors may be asked to sign an official deed of gift acknowledging the donation.
