Regulations for borrowing manuscripts and unprinted theatre texts from the Theatre Collection

Any professional or permanently established theatre as well as theatre schools are entitled to home loans of scripts and unprinted theatre texts with the designation "Theatre loan/1 month" from the Theatre Collection, but only for use at the institution itself, and provided that the material is kept in a safe deposit box when not in use.

§1 Registration

The form with the application for admission as a user is sent to kb@kb.dk, att.: Theatre Collection.

§2 Use of the Theatre Collection's manuscripts and unprinted theatre texts

Manuscripts are ordered via the library system.

Manuscripts that cannot be ordered for a home loan can be ordered as a copy. The library then decides whether it is legal to copy the manuscript.

Copying of manuscripts and unprinted theatre texts is only permitted for private study use.

Unpublished theatre scripts may not be performed without permission from the copyright holder.

Normally only three manuscripts can be borrowed at a time.

The user is not permitted to lend manuscripts to private individuals or to other institutions.

The material can be collected from the Diamond Information Centre in The Black Diamond, or received by post against payment of 150 DKK.

§3 Loan period

The loan period is one month.

Loans can be renewed if the material has not been reserved by another user. The maximum loan period is normally 6 months. Loans can be renewed an unlimited number of times within the maximum loan period.

§4 Recalls and suspension

A reminder is sent before the loan due date and three recalls after the loan due date via email. A recall fee is paid for the 2nd and 3rd recall.

The user's account is blocked if there are outstanding amounts of 5,000 DKK or more.

Current rates appear in Loan periods and fees.

§5 Compensation obligation

The user is personally responsible for the loan from the time it is borrowed until it is returned to the library's lending system. The compensation case, which includes a replacement price of 500 DKK and a collection fee of 150 DKK, is placed under Fees on the user's account.
