<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Actually, Rand, I think this is the same discussion. I called the Office of State Procurement years ago and was transferred to someone who had been working there for decades. He confirmed that we had the right
to dispose of de-accessioned books by selling or destroying them. If we had a book sale, my college required that we accounted for the library materials sold. Otherwise, they were fine with it. We could not give the books away, however, unless it was to
another state or public entity. I could give books to another community college library, for instance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">How ironic you are discussing this issue at the same time that we are exploring it. We are having an AAG research this for us. Our authority was an exemption from the Office of State Procurement, now folded into
Department of Enterprise Services. Two staff checked with two different DES officials. The first said no the exemption went away with the merger OSP into DES, the other said the exemption still exists and is still reauthorized each biennium. Go figure! I do
realize that you have guidelines that are different from ours. Hope I haven’t muddied the conversation. Rand<o:p></o:p></span></p>
