Hi Kathy and all: As some of you know, here at Columbia University Libraries, the art collection (stewarded by my department of Art Properties) is based in Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library. While the primary mission is stewarding the art and cultural heritage collections for educational programming, curricular integration, research & study, and exhibitions, we also do manage the on-campus loan program. This has been in effect for decades, although we do update policies and procedures as needed. It would be too challenging to coordinate a single answer via email about everything, so perhaps if someone wants to organize or coordinate a conference call, a group of us could call in and I could explain things to a group at one time, and I'm sure others would have questions or other experiences they want to share. Best, Roberto C.
