Building and developing the
library collection is a primary task of the university
librarians.
The library is interested in
adding materials to the collection enhancing its overall
quality and providing good resources that support the
curriculum. One of the means by which the library
collection can be increased is through accepting book
gifts or other hard-print donations based on the
following criteria:
- The
content of the material is current.
- The
material treats of topics related to the academic
program of the university.
- The
material is appropriate for the reading and interest
level of the students.
- The
material is in good condition. Old, worn out,
damaged material, especially of books with torn
pages, underlined and highlighted passages, and
missing pages are not accepted.
- Duplicate
copies are not added to the collection unless there
is a need.
- Only
complete sets of periodicals and journals fulfilling
the same criteria stated above will be accepted.
- A list
will be provided by the donor with author, title,
publisher, publishing date, number of pages, and any
other significant features. The library staff will
decide which books to accept as gifts.
-
Arrangements for shipping will be made by the
donor. The university library cannot accept
responsibility for payment of shipping the donated
books.
