Gifts and donations

This is a review of how we handle gifts at both library buildings.

Maps and Special Collections accept and process gifts, and gift forms, themselves.

Paul Machlis is the gift coordinator for all other materials. What this means is that staff should refer all questions about possible donations to Paul; he will talk to the person and determine whether we accept the gift or, if not, what other options are available.

The exception is when a patron comes to a service desk with a gift in hand, usually just a few volumes. In this case:

1. You are welcome to accept their gift, which you will pass on to Paul.
2. Please offer them a "Letter of Gift" form to complete, which you will also pass on to Paul. The donor is not required to complete the Letter of Gift form, but must do so if they wish formal acknowledgment which comes from both the Library Office and Campus Gifts Administration.
3. If you do accept such a gift and the donor asks if we will definitely add the item to the collection or if not, can we return the item to them, the answer in both cases is "no." Items that are not needed in our collection are disposed of in various ways.

Access and Reference at both buildings will be replacing old forms with the new form (the McHenry Ref Desk keep them in a drawer beside the Vertical File drawer).

The information regarding codes at the bottom only concerns Paul, Special Collections, and Maps. When he receives a completed gift form, he will complete those sections.

If you have additional questions, they are probably answered at the page below. You are also welcome to contact Paul anytime regarding gifts and our gift policy (9-3540, machlis@ucsc.edu).

Forms on internal site

Some forms on internal.library.ucsc.edu may continue to produce errors on submission. Most staff forms have been migrated to Drupal or elsewhere. The software request form, for example, has been superseded by itrequest (help@ucsc.edu). If you do receive an error when trying to use a form on internal.library, please send a ticket to help@ucsc.edu. We will help you find a newer version of the form or meet your need in another way.

New online form for Spec Coll NRLF items

Thanks to Sue Perry Special Collections now has an online form that patrons can use to request Spec Coll books and other materials stored at NRLF. The form can be found here: http://library.ucsc.edu/speccoll/special-collections-nrlf-request-form and is also linked from our Access to Collections page (http://library.ucsc.edu/speccoll/access-to-collections) .

Feedback on the form and instructions would be appreciated.

As always, patrons can contact me directly about requesting ASK AT SPECCOLL books without using the form.

New ILL manual forms

Hi all,

There was a time when community patrons without library accounts needed to complete a paper request form for items held at NRLF. No more! We now have online forms, which don't authenticate using library barcodes, so all those patrons who can't use Request can use these forms.

The forms are linked from the ILL pages (on the right hand side, under "Related Links"), and they live here:

books: http://library.ucsc.edu/services/borrowing/ill-manual-book-request-form
articles: http://library.ucsc.edu/services/borrowing/ill-manual-article-request-form

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Sarah
