With the increasing number of faculty retirements, likely to
accelerate in the next few years, we are noticing that our
gifts activity is demanding more and more resources in terms
of staff, time, and space.  I believe that attempts to
curtail this traffic would reflect negatively on the library
in terms of public relations; but we have begun discussing
ways we could refine our policy and streamline our processes
to maximize the benefits and minimize the workload.

Has anyone amended their gift policy or refined their
processes in light of the increasing number of facuty
retirements and donations?
