How can I donate materials to the Library?
Answer
At present, the libraries at The University of Texas at Dallas are accepting materials for our general, special, and archival collections. Donors will be requested to submit a title list prior to us accepting the donation for review. Please note that the library reserves the right to accept only part of the donation.
Walk-In donations or unsolicited drop-offs will not be accepted.

Additional information regarding donations/gifts:
- When gifts are received, they become the property of the University. We cannot return any donated material.
- The University reserves the right to determine retention, location, cataloging treatment, and other considerations related to gift material use or disposition.
- Donated materials that are not included in the collections will be disposed of through sales, exchanges, or other methods to benefit the libraries.
- Packing and transportation of donated materials to the libraries are the donor’s responsibility.

The libraries cannot provide an appraisal for any gifts-in-kind donation for income tax purposes. Any determination of value is the donor’s responsibility if the donor intends to claim the donation on their taxes by submitting an IRS Form 8323.
