- Abstract
The article offers tips on how to assess the efficacy and legality of donated gifts in the U.S. Some companies who have upgraded their system often donated their obsolete equipment to some institutions. Sometimes such gifts can bring more troubles than they are worth. To avoid such issue, it is recommended to follow the donation guidelines including reviewing Board of education and policies concerning donation, inspecting the potential donation at the donor's site before accepting, knowing the minimum system requirements for the school's technology and assessing the long-term maintenance of the equipment. Also discussed are the tips in inspecting specific items.
