For institutions
Universities & Libraries
A careful, accountable way to move books out of your collection and back into readers' hands.
Deaccessioned stock
Weeded titles, superseded editions, and duplicates that no longer fit the collection policy.
Faculty bequests & retirements
Personal libraries left to a department, or offices that need clearing when a professor retires.
Departmental reading rooms
Seminar libraries and lounges being consolidated, renovated, or closed.
Gift-in-kind backlogs
Donations the library accepted but has no staff time to process.
What we provide
Less landfill, less staff time, clear records.
- Free removal of most deaccessioned material, by appointment
- Itemized or summary disposition reports for your records
- Respect for bookplates, stamps, and withdrawal procedures
- Notable or rare items flagged back to you before any sale
- Donation to schools and community libraries where practical
- Consignment or revenue sharing for collections with real resale value
Arrangements follow the same collection policy as private collections, adapted to your institution's procurement and disposal rules.
