Good morning,

 

We are updating our policies, and this question came up:

 

If a donation includes a work, such as a map, illustration or even an article, which was at some point physically cut out of a publication, should we accept those items into the collection?  We don’t want to be encouraging the practice of cutting up publications; is adding the item to the collection a tacit encouragement?

 

I appreciate any and all responses.

 

Thank you,

 

Cheryl Miller
Head, Library Metadata and Discovery Services
