Bradley P. Tolppanen
Book donations are a mainstay of collection building. Gifts can range in scope from a few items dropped off by a patron to a large donation that requires a team of people to retrieve.

An unforeseen consequence of this was that a university press was no longer seen as fulfilling a university’s specific mission to …
