LibAnswers

The library welcomes the donation of technical reports. Select books, subject to the library's Collection Development Policy, may also be of interest to the library

• The decision to accept gifts for addition to the library's collection will be made by the appropriate librarians and may require consultation with the Dean of Libraries for larger or valuable collections.
• Gifts of manuscripts or archival materials should be referred to the University Archives.
• Small scale donations of a dozen or fewer items may be dropped off at the library at any time. Larger scale donations require prior approval and those wishing to donate larger collections should contact the Collections Development group at library@iit.edu beforehand. 

Please be advised that:

• we can only select a minority of books and other materials for the library’s collection. 
• many donated items, not selected for the library's collections will be sold to dealers, shared with other university libraries, donated to charity or offered on our Free Used Book Giveaway shelf; we cannot return them to the donor. 
• donors are responsible for transporting gifts to the library. In certain cases, the library will pay for the packing and shipping of gift items.  
• donors wishing to receive a letter of acknowledgment must include their contact information when making a donation.
• due to IRS rules, the library cannot make monetary appraisals of donated materials. For gifts that require a Deed of Gift, the Dean of Libraries will process these deeds.
