  Can anyone advise me on whether "free professional copies" of 
publications are considered appropriate or inappropriate to catalog for 
your collection. A professor has "donated" a professional copy of a 
publication and my thinking is that professional and examination copies are 
NOT appropriate to catalog for our official collection. However, what is 
the rationale behind this? Feedback appreciated.

  Thanks.
