Gift Donation Form
The University of the Incarnate Word and the UIW Libraries welcome the donation of books, media, and other resources that enhance the mission of the UIW Libraries and are aligned with UIW Libraries Collection and Access Development Policy. Because of limited funding and staff time to assess, process, and house items, donations of a box size or larger will need to be preceded by an itemized list with publication information, including ISBN and edition. If items are considered highly valued, that information will be useful to the collections manager and most likely will fall under special donation guidelines. The Collections Manager and liaison librarians will review the listing of items to ensure that collections through the donation are enhanced in alignment with the mission of the Libraries.
Donated gifts become the property of the UIW Libraries and will be managed by our staff in determining the best retention and treatment of the items in the interest of the teaching, learning, and research missions of the university. Some items may benefit the Libraries through a sale, transfer to other libraries, etc.
