In the effort to maximize shelf space, we are investigating what other
art library's have decided to do about these multi-volume library
catalogs that were published in the 1960's-80's.
It would appear from random checks of catalog entries that all of the
published entries now appear on the institutional online catalogs which
are easily accessible from the Internet.
We would be interested to hear what other library's who may own these
titles have decided to do with them. Did you discard them? Sell them?
Give them away?
