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
