Thanks to a generous donor, we now have electronic access to Art Index and Art Sales Index. Our library is open to the public. Members of the Museum may borrow materials. We are thinking about providing searches for our users -- we are the only library in the vicinity which has these databases. (The closest is Univ. of Cal. at Santa Barbara 10 or so miles away with inconvenient parking). We're thinking of offering free searches to members, but charging non-members. We're also considering charging any non-staff member. I'm here only 20 hrs a week and am afraid I'll be bogged down doing searches for people and nothing else! Question: do any of you (especially museum libraries) charge a fee for searches?
