Hi everyone, Can anyone recommend a recognised standard or tested current model for attaching a value to a library collection for insurance purposes? The context is an art and design library with holdings of c.100,000 books, back and continuing runs of 1000+ print journals and approx. 100 special collections and archives. I'd welcome the chance to speak with anyone with recent experience of preparing such a valuation. On- and off-list replies welcome. Best regards, Donna Donna Romano Head Librarian The Edward Murphy Library and NIVAL National College of Art & Design 100 Thomas Street Dublin 8, Ireland 353.1.636.4360 www.ncad.ie/library www.nival.ie Visit the official page of ARLIS UK & Ireland http://www.arlis.net/Home.
