----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We are only just beginning to deal with this problem. Books checked out for museum related research are sometimes lost and have been replaced by the department involved. I would like to make this practice official and I hope someone has come up with a policy for this too. Our Personnel Office is supposed to notify the library as soon as a staff member has given notice, but doesn't always. Some staff are contractual and so we don't always find out when they've completed their assignments. We've thought about devising a form (to be signed by a department head) giving borrowing privileges to volunteers and interns. Recreational reading is another matter but so far we have not had any losses from this activity. I hope you will post your findings to the list, and thank you for raising the issue.
