Donation Policy (excerpt from Collection Development Policy)

• Whilst there remains no prospect of a library extension, donations will not normally be accepted as these take up additional physical space and are costly to process.
• Donations and gifts for UEA Archive are governed by separate Archive Collection Policy.
