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.
