Gifts policy

Information Resources
Gifts of information resources (books, journals, historical photographs and documents, etc.) are an important part of the development of a research collection. All gift offers receive careful consideration for acceptance by the USCB Library. Many factors play a part in determining whether or not a gift can be accepted by the USCB Library, including:

* Usefulness to scholarly researchers
* Relevance to the mission and programs of USC Beaufort
* Uniqueness
* Physical condition
* Currency (where relevant)

Anyone interested in donating information resources to the USCB Library is invited to contact the Library at 843.521.4121(North Campus) or 843.208.8022 (South Campus), or email Ellen Chamberlain, Library Director, at ellenc@sc.edu

The Library recognizes gifts with a letter of appreciation and, at the donor's request, an itemized list.  A book plate to identify the donor may be placed in gift books as appropriate.  In the acknowledgment of gifts, the Library is not authorized to make a monetary appraisal for tax purposes; this remains the responsibility of the donor. The Library reserves the right to determine the appropriate placement and disposal of any donated material.

Philanthropic Gifts
USCB's Library welcomes contributions in cash, stocks, real property and other appreciated assets, as well as planned gifts, pledges, and naming opportunities. Anyone interested in making such a gift is invited to call USCB's Development Office at 843.208.8258 or send an e-mail message to Colleen Callahan, Director of Development, at ccallaha@gwm.sc.edu
