[Nhcoll-l] Collection visits: terms of usage

[battermann at snsb.de]

Dear colleagues,

 

as the terms of collection visits are currently discussed at our
collections, I was wondering what 'terms and conditions' (in German: we are
thinking about Nutzungsbedingungen vs. Gastforschervertrag) researchers have
to sign before they are allowed to work in your collections. Are there
guidelines for this?

 

We are currently asking visitors to sign a form that states:

*	Personal details of the visitor
*	Time frame of visit
*	Usage of equipment: visitor has to stick to health and safety
measures and be careful with all equipment; our institution has to train
user in usage of equipment
*	Insurance policy and liability
*	Termination of visit

 

I was thinking of adding:

*	Publications: we are to receive copies of all publications and data
recorded in our collections (including photos etc.)
*	Citation: our collection should be cited and the object ID stated
*	Methods: the methods used should be stated (imaging, measuring,
invasive sampling)

 

As to the process of collection this information: do you confirm a visit to
the collections and have visitors sign such an agreement upon arrival? Do
you collect the data and required signatures in the context of applications
for collection visits.?

 

Any input would be much appreciated. 

Best wishes,

Nora
