Acceptance of Gifts In-Kind

(This statement revised March 1998)

These policies conform to Internal Revenue Service regulations and the approved practice of the Association of College and Research Libraries of the American Library Association.

1. The appraisal of a gift to the library is the responsibility of the donor since it is the donor who benefits financially from any such gift to the college.
2. To protect both the donor and the college, no member of the Wabash College library staff will appraise any potential gift.
3. The library reserves the right to use the gift in the manner it deems is in the best interests of the college. The items may be added to the collections, presented to another institution, or sold to acquire other materials that may more directly support the current academic program of the college.
4. Shortly after receipt of the gift, the college development office will issue a college receipt that simply states the nature of the gift and the number of items. The receipt will not indicate any monetary value for the gift.
