Our library practice has been to make a detailed list of the books,
periodical runs, etc. that individuals donate, and to send a copy of the
list with our letter of acknowledgement. Most donations have no particular
financial value. Some of the items in a donation may be added while others
are set aside for a book sale. It would speed procedures greatly if we
just counted the items and listed a summary in the letter, such as "10 hard
cover and 5 paperbound books." How do other libraries deal with this issue?
