Protocol for Donations to the ESMUC Library-CRAI<\/h4><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The ESMUC Library-CRAI has significantly increased its collection thanks to the generosity of individuals and entities that have contributed to it by means of donations and loans of books, magazines, CDs, musical scores and other types of documents.

This protocol is intended to guarantee that all documents included in the catalogue align with the Library’s collection development policy, and that consistent criteria are applied when accepting a donation.

      How to make a donation<\/strong><\/h5><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Donations will be formalised through the document donation form. It is necessary to provide a brief inventory of the documentation being offered (indicating its author, title, publisher, format and year).

      The Library will provide a written response to all donation proposals after they have been evaluated according to the aforementioned criteria.

      In the event that the Library accepts the donation, it may also arrange for its transportation.

      Small donations may be accepted at the information desk.

      <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      What treatment do donated documents and collections receive?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Donated documents are integrated into the ESMUC collection and can be located through the Library’s catalogue, being subject to the same conditions of use as any other document.
      \u00a0
      The Library sends the donor a letter or e-mail to thanking them for their contribution. Once the document has been catalogued, the donor\u2019s name is recorded in the catalogue\u2019s bibliographic record.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
