The Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center recognizes the importance of journal, book and material donations that fill gaps in our collections. Gifts that are timely in content and/or relevant to the library’s mission can provide depth to the collections and may replace missing or damaged volumes. However, due to the labor-intensive nature of gift processing and University-imposed funding constraints, the library must be very judicious in its acceptance of gifts.
HSLIC also accepts monetary donations that can be targeted to specific areas of need. Please visit the "Giving to HSLIC" pages for more information.
