BOOK DONATION PROCEDURES

The American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR) Library is dependent upon donations of books for the expansion of the library. Currently donations of about 100 items per month are received. ACOR is interested in donations of individual books and also entire libraries. Although the needs of ACOR are limited and specific in scope, all books, maps, periodicals and journals are of interest. Items can be bartered or traded for needed research works if the library cannot use the works.

ACOR has the need for works in the fields of: archaeology, geography, social sciences, political science, Arabic language, Jordan, Jordanian culture, Arabic culture and related fields. Maps of the region are also needed.

We request that you contact the nearest ACOR office via Email or FAX with the details of your literary works. The Email addresses are:

acorlibrary@index.com.jo

acor@bu.edu
