Donation FormDonation Policy

MIU Library welcomes gifts of books that expand and complement existing collections. Gifts of books and other cultural heritage materials have helped strengthen our collections through the years. However, the Library is unable to accept all donations due to the high cost of storage and processing. Donors wishing to give rare or unique material to the Library are encouraged to contact directly the Head of Libraries, ([email protected]). Donated materials that fall outside our collection policy mainly include:

  • Textbooks
  • Popular magazines
  • Issues of periodicals
  • Titles the library already owns (except under certain circumstances)

Gifts that are accepted will become the property of Misr International University Library and the Library may make all essential decisions as to their maintenance, cataloging, and location according to their use and nature. Materials accepted but not added to the Library collections may be donated to charitable organizations, or the like.
