LibAnswers: Customer Services

The Library does not actively seek donations of printed material. We can only accept material which directly supports teaching and research at the University, and which is in line with our collection development priorities.

We apply the same criteria to donations that we do when buying books, because there are so many hidden costs.

Space is a major factor, too - we have over 4 million items in stock. For these reasons, we can only justify accepting and making space for donations if they contribute directly to the work of the University.
