[OPLINLIST] Policies on display of collections owned by members of the public

[Bob Nichols]

We have a new display case.  One use of it that has been discussed here and
that I have seen in other locations is the display of personal collections
of items.  I am looking now for sample policies that would cover such a
situation.  I have tried the sample policies at the State Library.  For
example, I would think that a library would want a policy that would allow
for display of doll or model car collections, say, but not collections of
tools of torture or suggestive items.  I would think that we would want a
policy that would require the library held harmless in the event of acts of
God, or other disasters. Etc, etc, etc.  Does any library have such a policy
and/or release form?  If so, and you are willing to share, please send them
to:  Bob Nichols, Brown County Public Library, 200 W. Grant Ave, Georgetown
OH.  We are on Cargo, BCG.  Thank you.
