Donating Books to the USF Tampa Library

ACCEPTANCE OF DONATED MATERIAL

Gifts are an important part of the University of South Florida Libraries’ Acquisitions Program. We receive numerous gifts, many of which are significant additions to our collections. The Library, therefore, is pleased to accept your donation.  Because the number of cataloged items in the Library has surpassed one million, the proper placement of a gift in the collection requires extensive research over a considerable period of time.

Gifts to the USF Library are:

  • Researched for best possible disposition, then
  • Retained for the Tampa Campus Library Collection, or
  • Placed in one of the regional campus library collections, or
  • Sold to create funds to purchase needed library materials, or
  • Discarded if not within the Libraries’ research mission

Procedure for Donating Books to the USF Libraries: 

Donations from Individual Donors:  Books from individual donors should be dropped off at the Circulation Desk, located on the first floor of the USF Tampa Library. A donor receipt for Acceptance of Donated Materials will be issued to the donor at this time

Donations from Faculty Members: For donations from USF Faculty Members or other individuals who are interested in donating scholarly works to the library, please contact Mark Greenberg, Director of Special & Digitized Collections, at 813-974-4141.

Donations of Sizable Collections: For larger collections, having research value in subject areas that match the mission of the library and the university, please contact Mark Greenberg, Director of Special & Digitized Collections, at 813-974-4141.
