This resource for museum professionals offers clear guidance on solving a number of problems that typically arise in collections planning and management. Some of the "conundrums" addressed include unsolicited doorstep donations, loaned items whose owners cannot be readily located, and restricted gifts. Sample agreements and other reproducible forms are provided in the appendix. Buck and Gilmore are also the authors of The New Museum Registration Methods. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc.
