> The New Trends in Museum Building: A Step Forwards or Backwards? by
> Elizabeth Selandia, MA Museum Studies, MA Industrial Arts, and
> MLIS, brings to the public two paradigms, the first for trends in
> classical museum building, the second trends for modern day museum
> building. The paradigm succinctly covers the breadth and depth of
> museum architectural design from the point of view of inclusion/
> exclusion of nature in the setting. On the one end of the modern
> spectrum are the national parks; at the extreme opposite end are
> museums that wholly exclude nature from the interior. In the
> middle are museums like Louisiana in Danmark, wherer nature is part
> of the exhibit. In all, seventeen categories are presented for
> modern day trends, and six for classical trends. Research is both
> primary and secondary, with the researcher visiting 11 museums,
> including two in Danmark, the John Steinbeck in Salinas, CA, and
> several in Los Angeles and San Diego. The images of the sixty
> museums considered and placed along the paradigm's spectrum are
> contained in 9 CD-ROMS. The pdf files can be downloaded for use in
> those institutions phasing out CD-ROM readers; Adobe Reader is
> available as a free download available online. The manuscript of
> just over 300 pages is unbound; the CD-ROMS are stored in archival
> quality holders, 5 in total. University of Texas, Austin, will pay
> the postage to the chosen recipient. Should more than one inquiry
> be forthcoming, author will consider making additional copies
> available. Currently, copies are housed at San Francisco State
> University, The Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley, Cornell University,
> University of Virginia, and Louisiana Museum, Danmark.
