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
