Can I donate books to UCC Library?
Answer
UCC Library will consider the acquisition of materials that:
• Support and advance the teaching and research activities of University College Cork
• Complement collection strength of UCC Library
• Support University College Cork's role as a custodian of national heritage material
UCC Library acknowledges that not all offered materials falling under these broad criteria can be acquired and retained, for practical and resourcing reasons. UCC Library is active in national networks of university libraries and cultural heritage institutions and may on occasion recommend an alternative potential beneficiary to the donor.
We are unfortunately unable to accept readily available books or digital collections that do not meet recognised standards for digital preservation.
