The server is probably not started. ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We insured our collections in 1989 following these guidelines: Rare Books: each title individually appraised Other Collections: estimate of "shelf replacement value" based on average costs for material types ie. Books (bound volumes) - $60 per volume Micromaterials (fiche/film) - $15 per volume equivalent Slides - $5 per slide Pictures - 25 cents per picture Vertical File Materials - $5 per file Films/Videos - $200 per title Audiotapes - $10 per tape Current periodicals (unbound) - $60 per subscription The shelf replacement value was to include all costs of requisitioning and ordering, invoice value, transportation costs, cataloging and indexing costs, cost of placing on the shelf and any other associated costs. In retrospect, I think some of the above averages are low (slides for instance) and, in reality, many of our collections cannot be replaced no matter what cost is attached to them.
