Donations

The library is happy to accept donations of books, which will be processed in the following way:

Items not already in stock and which are in accordance with our acquisitions policy will be added to stock.
Items written by or about members or former members of Nuffield College, and of which we already have a copy in the main stacks, will be added to the ‘Association’ collection (no more than two copies in total will generally be held.)
Donors will be recorded as follows on the first page: ‘The gift of John Smith, month, year.’ The name of the donor is also recorded in a field of the online catalogue record.
Items already in stock, or not in accordance with our acquisitions policy will be listed and offered free of charge as follows via regular lists notified on Nuffield College Library web pages:

To College libraries in Oxford and other relevant libraries within the Bodleian Libraries.
To Nuffield students and Research Fellows in exchange for a donation to Oxfam.
If feasible, and falling within their collecting policy, to overseas book collection charities.

If any items still remain, they will be offered for sale to second-hand booksellers periodically.

Runs of periodicals are not accepted as donations, unless they specifically fill in gaps in existing College collections.

We will attempt to add donated items to library stock as soon as possible, but we are regrettably unable to offer a firm timescale by which donations will be dealt with as donations processing will be fitted around our regular work.

Potential donors are warmly invited to discuss donations with the Librarian.
