We have in the past done the same as Tom notes, e.g. for items no longer 
needed by a journal edited on campus.

Re: CDL:  Adding review copies

When I was history librarian at Wichita State, one of the department faculty was
a book review editor.  We always added his gifts of books not sent to reviewers
when they were not duplicates.

It is my understanding that review copies are usually sent to reviewers 
with the understanding that they are technically the property of the 
publishers. They never ask for them back, but in theory they could. 
Therefore they are not be resold and not to be added to libraries.

We will add review/faculty gift copies (we often don't know they were review copies when we get them here in the library), but I won't add any that indicate "Not for resale."

I've discarded the original post so I may be misremembering here.  I believe the original question was in regard to the legality of adding review copies to the Library collection.  I apologize if I have misremembered and this response is not germane to the discussion.

There was a recent 9th circuit court ruling about the re-use (including selling) of promotional CDs that I think has some bearing on the question.  While addressing a different format, and selling as opposed to adding to a collection, I think some of the same principles may apply.

The ruling was reported on the Digital Copyright discussion list, with a link an article, that in turn links to the complete ruling.

      Appeals Court Kills Universal's Lawsuit Over Re-Selling Promo CDs.
      By Joe Mullin, paidContent.org. January 4, 2011.
      http://tinyurl.com/24c4uet

      "An appeals court confirmed today that consumers have a right to re-sell
      promotional CDs, which could have implications for other copyrighted
      goods as well. A panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
      9th Circuit has now ruled in three landmark cases that relate to whether
      copyrighted items like software and CDs are sold-and thus, out of the
      copyright owner's control-or simply "licensed" to consumers."

Even if not immediately applicable to the question posted to COLLDV I hope you will find this interesting at least.
