Greetings,
I have a couple of questions about methods used for acquiring/disposing
of rare books. Is trading an item in a special collection for one that
is owned by an individual commonly done? What about selling second, etc.
copies directly to an individual? We'd like to establish guidelines on
how to handle titles for which we have multiple copies.
Thanks in advance for sharing any methods your institution uses (or
that you've heard about).
