Collection Guidelines: Built Environments: Support BEL Collections

This guide provides an outline describing library collection development for the Built Environments Library.

Donations

The BEL is grateful to receive gifts from anyone. In the past, these have come from students, faculty, emeritus faculty and local residents. Due to limited storage, we generally can keep only a selection of a collection. If you have a collection of books falling in our collecting interests, please contact Alan Michelson, Head of the BE Library, at alanmich@uw.edu or 206.543.7091 for more information. Sometimes donors have inventory records of their libraries, and these are helpful to see. If you wish to drop of a gift, we will ask you to please fill out a Gift Donation form so that we may acknowledge your donation with a letter.
