Donating Books and Journals to the Library Collection
The users and staff of the UConn Health Center Library continue to be grateful for the generosity of individuals and departments who have enriched the collection through monetary donations and gift materials. We welcome monetary gifts to support our collections, programs, and facilities. Financial contributions or purchases of new materials can be made in memory of family members, colleagues, and friends or to recognize special individuals. http://library.uchc.edu/donating/ Please call the Collection Management Department listed below if you would like to donate to the library collection.
Historical/Rare Books
The library is gradually building a significant historical
collection through generous gifts and donations. We appreciate
the donation of pre-1900 historical materials. We can also
refer you to the Hartford Medical Society Historical Library
which is located adjacent to the Health Center Library.
Recent books
The library accepts donations of books that have been published
within the most recent five years. Newly published books are
especially welcome.
Journals
We appreciate donations of print journal issues which fill
gaps in our collection. We can research the titles for you,
or you may search our catalog at http://librarycatalog.uchc.edu
to discover issues which we are missing. Because of space
constraints, we cannot accept any journals except those that
fill gaps.
The Library's use of gift materials
Material donated to the library becomes the property of the
library and will be used or disposed of as appropriate. Due
to space limitations and a shift toward electronic resources,
we are accepting and retaining fewer print materials. Recent
books which are duplicate copies are made available to medical
students.
Procedure to give items to the library
Please contact the Collection Management Department at 860.679.4058
when you have materials you would like to donate. If the library
can accept your materials, it will be your responsibility
to arrange for delivery of the gift items to the Circulation
Desk whenever the library is open. Check the library website
or call 860.679.2839 for library hours. http://library.uchc.edu/about/hours.html
Letters of acknowledgment
If a letter of acknowledgment is needed, you will be asked
to leave your name and address with the materials. The library
will provide a letter including a count of the items donated
if requested. A copy of a donor-supplied list may be attached.
The library is legally prohibited from providing tax appraisals
for gifts. Donors wishing to take a deduction from their annual
income for tax purposes may want to consult IRS Rules and
Regulations or contact a tax expert for specific questions.
Thank You!
Thank you for considering a gift to the Health Center Library.
