Gifts
Gifts will be evaluated using the same criteria for selection as regularly purchased materials.
Donors of gifts to the library shall be informed that:
- The library may keep or dispose of gifts in accordance with library collection development guidelines.
- The responsibility for appraisal of gifts rests with the donor.
All gifts shall be acknowledged in writing unless otherwise requested by the donor. Anonymous gifts, by their nature, cannot be acknowledged. Special cards will be sent to families of deceased persons in whose names memorial gifts are given to the library.
Major gifts shall be reported by the Library Director to the University President through the Provost’s Office.
Monetary gifts should be made to the Library Excellence Fund through University Foundation offices. A record of all memorials and honoraria shall be kept.
