[LIBRARYDIR] donated books

[Howard Fuller]

Yes. We accept gifts/donations applying the same evaluation criteria as we do when purchasing new books. For example, we wouldn’t purchase a ten year old accounting book nor would we accept one as a gift/donation.

Hi all,

I know you're dying for a library deans chat on a Friday afternoon, so here is my question of the day:

Do you limit whether retired professors can donate to the library all the books in their offices from their entire career?

Thanks! Claire
