Scope note
Method of acquiring property by each party giving and receiving from the other party, often regarding property of equal value, but may include equivalent values of exchange media. For example, an exchange may be made by individual authors, libraries, museums, and other institutions in which they exchange between or among each other their own publications or those of the institution with which they are connected, or duplicates from their own collections. For specific forms of exchange that include money for goods, use 'sales' or 'selling', and for the exchange of goods for goods in general, use 'barter,' except in local instances where ‘exchange’ is more appropriate, as in the example above.
