Giving to Cline Library
In today's information age, the library is a cornerstone for intellectual discovery, connecting our heritage to our future promise. Cline Library is vital to the fulfillment of NAU's mission of teaching, research, service and community outreach. At this moment, we must be able to respond ably and creatively to institutional initiatives and the rapidly changing expectations of students and faculty. We must be open to new and challenging possibilities and willing to take on new roles. Your contributions help us meet these goals and challenges.

Alibris Donate-a-Book Program
Cline Library has the privilege of inspiring students to reach for the world! In preparing students for the future, we strive to create a collection that reflects an educational environment that is culturally and socially diverse and global in perspective. This goal is strategically connected to that of the entire University as part of the Northern Arizona University’s Strategic Plan. Northern Arizona University (NAU) has made tremendous effort to infuse diversity throughout all areas of the University’s curricula and programming. The geographic location of NAU in Flagstaff, Arizona promotes an environment of "regional and global stewardship" that contributes to a broader learning experience and helps prepare students for meeting the changes of a global environment and encouraging engaged social responsiveness.
The quality materials that Alibris provides to libraries and users complement our unique materials and enrich the learning opportunities we provide to the academic and regional communities.

Gifts of Archival Collections
Most archival collections found at the Cline Library are gifts to Northern Arizona University from people who share an appreciation for the value of regional historical materials as well as an interest in their preservation and public access. All gift materials, whether one item or a thousand, contribute to our understanding of the Colorado Plateau or the history of the University across a multitude of disciplines.
The Cline Library always appreciates information about personal, business or organizational records which relate to the Colorado Plateau or Northern Arizona University and which may be acquired through a gift or bequest. A policy outlining the scope of the collections housed in Cline Library’s Special Collections and Archives is available upon request. Persons interested in adding to the library’s treasures may contact staff by calling 928 523-5551 or by submitting an e-mail query to Special.Collections@nau.edu. See also the Library Deed of Gift. Library staff will be delighted to discuss a gift of digital archival material.
Library staff can also provide helpful information on a variety of topics, including caring for family photographs and documents.
General Collections Gifts
Library staff will gladly discuss a gift of books or media resources for the library that supports the University's curricula and goals. All gifts are reviewed for condition and appropriateness to the collection with the understanding that the library makes all necessary decisions as to retention and other disposition. Due to the volume of material acquired and prepared for public access each year, the library is not able to provide donors with an item-by-item inventory. Also, the library is not able, per IRS rules, to provide appraisals. The responsibility for appraising gifts remains with the donor.
Cline Library is particularly interested in high-quality hardcover fiction and current academic materials in environmental science, global studies and education. Media titles in the following formats are currently acquired and supported by the library: video on DVD and music or audio recordings on CD. Items generally not needed include magazines and journals, textbooks or items in poor physical condition.
