[Nhcoll-l] Collection Policies

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi Tonya,

would recommend "Things great and small" (2nd edition) by John E. Simmons
https://www.amazon.com/Things-Great-Small-Collections-Management/dp/1442277459

Developing a policy is the one things, but such documents often fall 
short when colleagues don't live up to it or if there is room for 
improvement in the internal museum management (e.g. what are the 
sanctions if policies are violated).

All the best
Dirk
