Loan Policy
For the Biological Collections maintained by the Biological Sciences Department at California State University, Long Beach.
The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Zoological Collection provides loans of skins, skeletons, and fluid-preserved specimens from its collections for scientific research or education.
Please contact the Zoological Collections Manager at CNSM-Verts@csulb.edu with any requests for specimen data, loans, or destructive sampling. If your request will include destructive sampling, please see also: Destructive Sampling and Analysis Protocol.
Use of Specimens
Specimens loaned for research should be acknowledged by catalog number in any subsequent publications, reports, presentations or GenBank submissions. Specimens loaned for education should be credited to Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà in text accompanying the educational display.
Loaned specimens may only be used for the purpose outlined in the original request and written permission must be obtained for any use outside of the original scope (including transfer of Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà specimens to third parties).
Returning Specimens
Specimens on loan should be returned to Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà using the same packing containers and materials, shipping method, and insurance value unless other arrangements are made with the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Collections Manager.
