I find this whole topic really interesting (if not complicated) but I'm
particularily interested in what cut off date most libraries use to
differentiate between rare/not rare, locked/not locked. Howard said his
library uses the date 1946.
I hope others will reply to the whole list at least with some of your
response including that date.

At Brown University, maps published from 1946 to the published are kept
in open stacks and circulate. Maps published before 1946 are kept is the
rare books/special collections library. They have to be paged, and can
can only be consulted in the reading room there. I couldn't easily find
a written policy for this--it may be tucked away in a paper folder or
binder.

How many map folks out there run mixed facilities – meaning you have
mostly open stacks in your unit, but some special locked cabinets full
of rare/fragile/valuable items in a corner or in a back room? How do
you differentiate the spaces and do you have different access policies
for these two collections?
I’d love to see your handouts that instruct patrons on procedures, but
I’d especially like to see any internal written procedures and policies
you may have.
Patron procedures include: How many items at once may a patron utilize
Topics include written instructions to staff on how and where to store
things while they await processing, how they are transported around the
facility, how you keep track of things that went to the conservation
lab, how and where to mark them, and other related items.
Thank you very much,
