Book and Other Gift Donations

Guidelines for acceptance of gift materials

The University Libraries welcomes book donations and other formats that enhance the Libraries ability to support the teaching and research missions of the University.

  • Gifts are accepted with the understanding and agreement that the Libraries makes all necessary decisions as to retention, use, and discard.
  • A list that includes title, author and date of publication must be prepared by the donor for the Libraries to check for duplicates already in the collection before any items can be accepted. The only exception is if the donations are already housed in a faculty office or elsewhere on the UNLV campus where a library liaison can physically examine them prior to possible transfer to the Libraries.
  • For the main Lied collection, there is interest in new, high quality, scholarly books and items in other formats. Other collections (see below) have more specific interests.
  • Items generally not needed include magazines and journals, newspapers, or anything in poor physical condition.
  • Materials dropped off at the Libraries without previous communication with Continuing Resources & Collections will not be added to the collections.

Appraisal and acknowledgement

Staff of the University Libraries cannot provide appraisal of value for books or other materials. Written acknowledgement will be provided on request.

Delivery and pickup

Delivery and pickup must be discussed with the Head of Continuing Resources & Collections, 702-895-2133, or their designate. Pickup is not offered beyond the UNLV campus. Campus pickup may be available but must be negotiated.

Contact us to make a donation
