Notes from Donor Relations session at ZL(u)C 2016, Boston
- Concerns about zine donors who may be less than ethical
- more diligence about researching donors
- Concerns about keeping to the collection development policy
- The importance of developing a collection development policy
- It’s nice to send thank you letters acknowledging donation
- It would be useful to have a collection of letter templates and examples as guides
- possibly put these behind a form letter.
- ACTION ITEM: Make list with info about collection policies of libraries.
- Grab bags, specific asks (eg. Art Zines go to UT-Austin)
- Collaborator’s bill of rights + student collaborator’s bill of rights
