I go back to the original question :
 
"I didn't see anything in the archives, so I will ask the group:  do any of you have policies for non-permanent documents that are "?  What do you use for disposition?"
 
There are some interesting points:
1."non-permanent documents" - for me it says that the organization make a difference between permanent and non-permanent
 
2."non-permanent documents" - again, for me it says that there is a practise in place to loan non-permanent documents.
 
Now, there is a question, what does it mean non-permanent documents and why library or museum are interested in them?
 
I know lot of "stories" when organization has subscription for different magazines according to its profile that are actually Reference documents and very often are have been thrown away after few months.  In this case, if those magazines were loaned to library, we can appreciated the organization.
 
In another scenario, organization could borrow to museum some "documents", that it has received regularly, let say annual award for..., and finally decided that there is now place to keep the actual award, but only reference in other records.
It is also possible.
 
Again, every think depends on the organisation's records management policy.
