Hello all,

 

Would anyone like to share their best practices for loaning out, or
exhibiting, 1 component within an object record? For example, loaning out
only the teapot from a tea set, where each piece of the set is defined as a
component within the tea set object record. Our current cataloguing
practices do not seem to allow this kind of component/object separation for
the purposes of loans, exhibitions, etc. using the TMS linking assistants.
We use TMS 9.2.

 

Perhaps the only answer is simply to avoid creating components for sets
where loans like this are a possibility, but I'm curious to know how others
have approached this.

 

Many thanks,

 

Ariana
