Loan Conditions
- All loans are for 1 year, unless otherwise stated,
and are subject to annual renewal. A renewal form will be sent at the
beginning of each calendar year regardless of when the loan was issued
in the previous year; please sign and return it even if you have had
the material only a short time.
- Researchers are encouraged to return all material borrowed
as soon as possible; all loans are subject to recall.
- Borrowed types and all unique specimens must be returned;
retention of duplicate specimens is permitted only by prior written
permission of the curator.
- Individual determination labels must be placed on each
pin or slide or inside each vial.
- Types designated from University of Minnesota Insect
Collection (UMSP) material must be deposited in UMSP, unless prior arrangements
are made with the curator.
- No part of this loan may be sent to another party without
prior written permission of the curator.
- Student loans ordinarily will be made to the sponsoring
professor, who will be expected to accept full responsibility for the
loan(s).
- Holotypes are sent, and should be returned, by registered
mail, preferably airmail.
- Unless otherwise stated, specimens may be dissected
for study. Dissected parts must be mounted or stored in a manner that
best prevents loss or dissociation.
- Other specific conditions may apply.
