Dear Sarah

Here at the National Gallery, we use the following Loan Purposes:

*         Long Loan In

*         Short Loan Out

*         Exhibition Loan In

*         Long Loan Out

*         Temporary Deposit

Long loans in and out are exactly that: long-term loans, usually for display alongside a permanent collection.

Short loans out are our loan out equivalent of Exhibition loans in: short-term loans, usually for display in a temporary exhibition.

We don't use Loan Type.

Best wishes

Rupert

Subject: Loan Purpose and Loan Type

Hello TMS users!

I am in the process of reviewing our workflow of the Loans module.  I wondered if anyone was willing to share some screenshots, or list of terms used for Loan Purpose and Loan Type.  Ours is a bit inconsistent so I would love to see how other museums establish these authority fields.

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Sarah L. Gillis assistant registrar, image management
