----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am putting together information about policies regarding borrowing rights in art museum libraries. I am interested to know whether other libraries permit: internal borrowing [within the building] external borrowing [take books home etc] for the following categories: permanent staff part-time permanent staff temporary or casual staff voluntary guides/docents other volunteers interns Any comments of the reasons for your policies would be appreciated. Please reply directly to me at: [log in to unmask] I shall be happy to consolidate the answers for the list if others are interested. Thank you J.
