Exchange agreements can also result in groups of periodicals, a mix of serials and monographs, or subscriptions or groups of monographs being purchased for the exchange partner.

Responsibility For Acceptance of Library Information Materials As Gifts

Gifts of materials will be accepted with the understanding that they will be subjected to the same criteria for inclusion in the collection as purchased materials.
