I would like to make a compilation of different Museum Library policies in
as many areas as possible. The goal of this project is to prepare a
compilation of policies that we can compare among ourselves and use to
refine and develop local policies. I will
organize and share this information with members of the Museum Libraries
Division, and anyone else who might be interested. The more policies I
receive, the more valuable the final product will be.
Policies might include, for example, access to the library and stacks,
photocopying, ILL, security, circulation etc. I am primarily interested in
public service-related issues, but I would be pleased to receive policy
statements on technical service, processing and preservation issues and
staffing issues such as professional development. I am happy to receive them
in any format: Email, Word attachments, or brochures and handouts that can
be sent to me at the address below. If you have policies posted on a Web
site, please let me know. Finally I would be grateful for an organizational
chart which indicates the staffing structure of the library and its
reporting relationship to the museum's administration.
I am confident that this compilation will benefit all of us and I encourage
you to forward as many policies as possible.
Many thanks.
Ken Soehner
