Scope: This document outlines the processes that the LTS staff follow when handling materials that have been designated as rare, or are treated as special items for Kroch Asia collections and unit libraries. Rare materials designated for the CUL Rare and Manuscript Division are ordered, received and cataloged in that division. Their policy on transfer of materials to the general collection is available at http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/RMCTransGuidelines.html.
