journals, the Library also accepts donations of other formats, such as
videos and compact discs. Donated items which do not fit the scope and

added to the collection. Upon acceptance, all donations become the property
of the University Library, and the Library will make the final decision
as to the disposition of donated materials.

and from the EMU Foundation. IRS regulations do not allow an institution
receiving a gift in kind to assign a monetary value for tax purposes,
the donors are responsible for any estimations used for tax
deductions.

Specific conditions for all gifts received will be set forth in the Deed of Gift document signed by the donor and the Archivist.
