Gifts Policy

The UTDB Library accepts and appreciates gifts of library resources and monetary gifts. The library accepts gift materials with the understanding that the Assistant Library Director reserves the right to determine whether the items fit the goals of the collection. Scope of information, currency, student and faculty needs, available space, funding for binding, condition of items, and duplicate resources in the collection will help to determine whether the gifts are accepted and how they are utilized. Gifts that have restrictions placed on them may not always be accepted.

Every effort will be made to add gift items that are not already available in the collection. The gifts may occasionally be offered to students, faculty, and staff if the library is not in need of the items. The Assistant Library Director will attempt to assist the donor to locate a place to donate their gifts if they are declined.

The Assistant Library Director will work with donors of monetary gifts to try to best accommodate their wishes for the gift. Every effort will be made to accommodate the donor’s requests when possible. If the donor’s request cannot be met, the donor will be notified.

The Library cannot assume responsibility for assigning monetary values to gifts for tax purposes due to federal guidelines. However, a letter of acknowledgement for the gift can be given.

For additional information, please contact Carolyn Harty, Assistant Library Director at 713-500-4204 or Carolyn.M.Harty@uth.tmc.edu.
