We are in the process of developing an acquisitions policy regarding
donated collections. Our collection is small (40,000), is liberal-arts
based, and space is at a premium. 
    
I would appreciate it if any subscribers could share some thoughts in this
area...a problem we are facing in donated collections is that some of it
does not fit our mandate, and our policy has to address that issue.  

Thanks!   

Jim
