Journal Donations

["Michel, Rene" <rmichel@iastate.edu>]

Dear Radsafers,

I'm posting the following message for a friend who is not a member of the
list.

________________________________________________________________________

I need some advice from anyone who has donated professional journals.  I am
retiring soon and have located a university to take my old HPS and AIHA
Journals.  However I need answers to the following questions:
1.	What value can be put on the Journals?  The 442 HPS Journals go back
to volume 3-(1960) and the 275 AIHA Journals go back to volume 34-(1973).
2.	What process is needed to confirm value if you take a non-cash
contribution on your income tax?
3.	Do I need to have a certified appraisal done?  If so, who are some
good certified appraisers to use who would know the values of HPS and AIHA
Journals?
