The Appalachian State University Library is examining its
criteria for
material to be designated as "rare" and housed in a special
collection. I would appreciate seeing criteria and policies
from other
libraries, especially mid-sized academic ones. Please reply
directly
to wisems_at_appstate.edu or contact me via mail, telephone or
fax.  I
will summarize back to the list.

Thanks.
