Self-Assessment

The Self Assessment worksheet is intended to help identify the risks to your special collections by breaking down their management into approachable sections. This practical template provides a current snapshot of your institution's special collections management practices and should be useful for many types of institution and collections formats. There are three sections: 

  • Institutional Background
  • Special Collections Information
  • Locations Assessment

Assessment 1: Institutional Background

Assessment 2: Collections Information

Assessment 3: Location Assessments
