Mary,

Just this week I dismantled our picture file. Our students no longer use our picture file like they did in the past—Google Images has made it pretty much obsolete. We’re excited to have some space opened up now that 24 filing cabinets will be removed!

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Picture Files

Dear ARLISers,

I am curious as to whether any academic libraries still maintain a “picture file” (image file, clippings file, etc.) and index?

Newish librarian here – who has recently discovered ours and it’s taking up space with images that can (for the most part) be found elsewhere.

Kind regards,

Mary Wahl
