GIST Gifts & Deselection Manager GIST is also used to streamline Gift Management and evaluate collections; in roughly 13 months, we processed over 4K donated books and DVDs, accepting about 700 items or roughly $49K worth of acquisitions. This helps – we borrow thousands of books, yet Milne has also doubled the number of purchased books in the last couple of years.
