This unit is for archaeologists who have responsibility within organisations to assess which items can be lent to others and for liasing with users of the collection.
Organisations routinely lend and borrow items to and from other organisations and individuals. There have to be some criteria and procedures for the lending and borrowing of items, set within the context of the organisation's overall policy on collection management. Once the criteria and procedures are established, any request from a potential borrower for a loan has to be measured against them and the loan can then be negotiated. When items are borrowed, the situation is reversed. This unit covers establishing criteria for lending items so that the candidate and others have clear guidelines to follow; evaluating requests from borrowers for the loan of items; agreeing (however simply) what happens when items are lent to others; and agreeing (however simply) what happens when items are borrowed from others.
