Gifts are accepted with the understanding that, upon receipt, the HealthSciences Library becomes the owner of the material and, as such, reserves the right to determine retention, location, cataloging treatment, and other considerations related to use or disposition.
The Library encourages donors to consider, in their own interest, having their gifts appraised for income tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Service considers recipient libraries to be interested parties and therefore often disallows appraisals made, or paid for, by them. For this reason, costs of appraisal must be borne by donors, although appraisal costs themselves are likely to be deductible items. As income and estate tax laws are subject to frequent revision, donors may wish to discuss appraisals with their attorneys. When requested to do so, the Library can give assistance by providing suggestions of appropriate professional appraisers who might be consulted. The acceptance of a gift which has been appraised by a third, disinterested party, does not in any way imply endorsement of the appraisal by the Health Sciences Library. All gifts are acknowledged.
