Items donated shall become the property of the Library and Normandale Community College upon receipt.

Each item received will be evaluated for possible inclusion in the Library collections based on its content, current collection levels in the subject area, and whether the item supports the current curricular needs of the college.

Donated items added to Library collections are the sole property of the Normandale Community College Library and all decisions concerning distribution, use, and retention of said items will be made by the Library.

Items not added to the collection will either be forwarded to the University of Minnesota as part of a statewide information resource-sharing program or recycled, as appropriate.

The Normandale Community College Library cannot accept any donation of materials from individuals or institutions which will not relinquish total control of the items to the Library.

The Library does not provide valuations of items donated.  Any requests for confirmation of material (in-kind) donations to the Library will be handled by the Office of College Advancement.
