Purpose
Gifts to the Library are a major source of supplement to the annual budget for the acquisitions of library materials. Offers to donate books or journals are always welcome. Donations of books, journals, and other materials broaden the collection, enable the Library to meet the demand for multiple copies of heavily used titles, and also help to replace lost or damaged copies.
Guidelines
- Gift Policies
- All potential donations are evaluated based on University needs.
- Gifts or donations that will NOT be considered include workbooks, assessment books and the like, old copies of magazines, books with missing pages and miniature books (less than 10 cm in height).
