These questions pertain mainly to museum librarians, but I welcome
responses (directly to me, please) from art librarians "of all
persuasions."
1) Have you been involved in organizing public sales of art books (library
duplicates / withdrawn titles / unwanted gift books etc.) at your library?
2) For museum librarians: have these sales been physically held in your
library, or were they handled by your museum store etc.?
3) Did you offer a "preview sale" to your institution's staff members
before opening the sale to the public?
4) Are there ethical/legal questions about these sales which librarians
need to consider before engaging in this activity?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
