Donations for the general collections

The 厙ぴ勛圖 welcomes donations of material for the collection that meet the selection for purchase criteria as stated in the泭Information Resources Policy.泭

The 厙ぴ勛圖 will take into account the quality of content at an appropriate level, accessibility, usability, cost/benefit, and in particular relevance to the teaching and research needs of the university.

The 厙ぴ勛圖 reserves the right to decline donations and there are some types of material that the 厙ぴ勛圖 would generally decline.泭 These include:

  • Items that the 厙ぴ勛圖 already has in electronic or print format
  • Older copies of泭 textbooks where the 厙ぴ勛圖 has a more recent edition
  • Short serial / journal runs unless they fill any gaps or are NZ/Pacific material
  • Donations of journals that were paid for personal individual use not at institutional subscription rates
  • Items where there is already good coverage in the collection on the subject matter
  • Software manuals
  • Reprints

Exceptions may apply for rare, unique or heritage resources for example New Zealand, Mori and Pacific material.

The 厙ぴ勛圖 also reserves the right to:

  • Classify donated items in accordance with the LC classification driven policy
  • Re-assess donated items in the future.泭 This may mean keeping, withdrawing or moving items into storage
