Kornhauser Health Sciences Library Gift and Appraisal Policy

• Kornhauser Health Sciences Library (KHSL) gratefully accepts donations. Interested donors are encouraged to contact Paula Mattingly at KHSL Technical Services at 852-5761.
• In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the KHSL reserves the right to decline any donation or dispose of any donated materials.
• University Library policy prohibits the acceptance of conditional or restrictive donations which limit general access to patrons, require private housing or handling, stipulate frequent or perpetual exhibition to identify the donor, or in any way inhibit the normal integration or ultimate disposition of such gifts within the Library system. The Library Director may make exceptions to this policy only if the acceptance of certain restricted donations serves the best interests of the University.
• Inheritance or Income Tax appraisals of gifts to the Library are the responsibility of the donor, since it is the donor who requires this information rather than the Library. The Library recommends independent appraisals of valuable items prior to the time of donation.
• Acceptance of a gift that has been appraised by a third, disinterested party does not imply endorsement of such appraisal by the Library. If an appraisal of donated material is desired, the appraisal must be arranged and paid for by the donor.

NOTE the following for gifts from University of Louisville Departments

• In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, KHSL accepts University department donations of monographs only. Bound and loose print journals are not accepted, due to space restrictions and the library retaining a limited print journal collection.
