GIFT POLICY

The Medical Library welcomes gifts of books, journals, and other materials that augment the collection or that can be exchanged for needed items. Due to space and staffing limitations, acceptance of gifts may be limited to items needed for the Library's collection, and a list of potential gift materials may be required from the donor prior to acceptance of the gift. Appraisals of gifts are the responsibility of the donor.
