Hello,

I am the Collections Manager for a small University Gallery/Museum and 
am in the process of writing a security/access policy for the Museum.
Our facility is managed by the University’s Physical Plant which means 
that all Physical Plant staff have keys and access
to the Museum and Collections Storage areas and all contract work goes 
through them. This presents a huge problem and I am trying to
change this policy. Physical changes such as new locks, swipe card 
entry, etc. are in the works, but the larger obstacle is getting the
Physical Plant and University to see that we are a unique entity with 
unique needs and that restricted access is standard practice and that
we need to change the existing policy. Are there any University Museum 
staff out there in a similar situation and do you have sample policies
you could share in regards to internal access?

Thanks for your assistance,
Melinda McPeek
