Care and handling

Staff examine the particular possession before arranging use. They identify material requirements, condition, operation, care, maintenance, storage, supervision, suitable activities. A custodian can provide information while staff assess the institution's actual capacity.

A repaired cup needs a decision concerning service. A camera needs a permitted operating procedure. A textile may require different treatment for examination and wearing. A plant needs recurring attention during closure or absence. Staff make those decisions legible to hosts and guests at the point of use.

The complete account favors a usable domestic collection. Organizers can select suitable material, provide supervised activity, arrange a mediated encounter, use another representation when required. Direct use, intervention, travel examine different demands. A care decision can change after new condition evidence or experience.
