Gifts & Donations
The resources of the University of Dallas Library have been developed over the years through purchase of materials and acceptance of many valuable and useful gifts. Donations have played a significant role in developing the size, depth and diversity of our resources.
In order to build a quality collection, it is the policy of the University of Dallas Library to accept gifts without qualification and with the understanding that, upon receipt, all gift materials become property of the University of Dallas Library. The Library reserves the right to determine retention, location, cataloging treatment, and other considerations related to their use or disposition. Books that do not complement the library collection, may be exchanged, sold or disposed. We regret that we are not able to notify donors of the final disposition of their gifts or return items not added to our collection.
- Acknowledgement
- Each gift to the University Library is acknowledged, unless the donor requests otherwise. Acknowledgments typically include the date of receipt, number and type of gift donated.
- Donor Recognition
- The Library will place a bookplate inscribed with the donor's name in each gift donated, if requested. Some donors prefer not to be publicly recognized. Please advise the Library of your preference when you offer your gift.
- Tax Information & Appraisals
- Usually a gift of books or other material will qualify as a deduction for income tax purposes. The donor is responsible for establishing the fair market value of an item given to the library. IRS regulations prohibit the library from providing appraisals of gifts. However, the library may provide reference assistance to donors in using standard sources related to evaluation of library materials, or suggest names of appraisers for donors to contact.
- Gift Books Honoring a Friend or Relative
- A gift of a minimum of $50.00 may be made in memory or in honor (birthday, anniversary) of a friend or relative. The volume purchased with the gift will have a bookplate indicating honoree and donor. A letter of acknowledgement is sent to the family or friend of the person in whose name the gift was made. Please furnish your name and address, full name of the person to be honored or memorialized, the general subject area of the book to be purchased, and the name and address of the family member(s) or friend(s) you wish to have notified of the donation.
