Comments, purchase recommendations, gifts-in-kind, and special requests from users make an important contribution to building and shaping the Library’s collections. Purchase, transfer, and related collection management requests linked to individual users, or even group of users (an academic department), are deemed confidential reader information and not shared outside the Library. Within the Library, user names are temporarily attached to internal records and shared among relevant staff to facilitate notification of Library actions and follow-through. The exception to these guidelines is in the event a special collection is recognized by the Library with personalized bookplates with the permission of the donor.
