Dear colleagues We are being asked for criteria for placing fine arts materials in an automated storage system. With small exceptions, I am reluctant to propose placing many fine arts materials in any storage as long as they have visual content. Browsing materials to bring them together for comparison purposes seems to me to be important for the art history student. Your comments would be very helpful to me in making the right decision. Thanks everyone, in advance. *************************************************************** ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Diana E.M.
