Q. Can I donate books or collections to the New York Tech Libraries?

The NYIT Libraries welcome gifts of materials or funds with which to purchase materials. Gifts of library materials will be accepted provided they are consistent with the general collection development policy.

Gifts will be evaluated before a decision is made to accept an offer. The same criteria that apply to the purchased materials apply to gift materials when considering the acceptance of gifts.

Materials will be accepted with the understanding that librarians will decide their disposition. Unneeded items may be disposed of by sale, exchange, donation, or discard at the discretion of the evaluator. While the library will provide a letter of acknowledgment, the library cannot appraise the value of the donation.

Materials cannot be accepted under the following conditions:

• When a donor requires that the materials be kept together and not integrated into the library collection
• That they must not be allowed to circulate
• Materials cannot be accepted on an indefinite loan

Items donated to the library become library property and are thus subject to regulations governing its collections.
