This project is ongoing since October 2014.  The aim of this
conference is to discuss the results obtained during the two-year
study: used methods, findings and assessment of results.

By disclosing two existing study collections following questions
came up and were answered:

    What is a study collection? Pedagogy, used in universities, used

    How does an object of the study collection relate to an object
    from the permanent collection? Collection policy

    How does one deal with a study collection? Registration, hands
    on

    What are the best practices to use study collections? On line
    website, Manipulation, restrictions

    What are the practical obstacles acquiring a study collection?
    n, disclosure, infrastructure

    How to arrange the practical organization of the consultation?
    Consultation, infrastructure, searching, staff

All this with the objective of sustainable use, access and
disclosure of two study collections.

The goal of this project is to create a conceptual framework around
study collections.
