Guidelines for Borrowing and Lending Special Collections Materials for Exhibition
"These guidelines are written to encompass the needs of as wide a range of institutions and materials as possible. Although this document can offer no specific guidance in the matter, it is assumed that individual institutions will use common sense in applying these guidelines, taking into consideration such factors as rarity, fragility, and monetary value of the material being requested for exhibition.... Although the policies and practices of a number of the largest libraries in the United States, including the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library, were used to formulate these guidelines, it is assumed that smaller institutions will find these guidelines flexible and useful for their needs."
