Should have added that we have 2 flatbed scanners in the library, so if a student needs an article or image, they can scan and email it to themselves. Since we do not have a color printer here, they need to go to one of the computer labs to do a printout.Moira______________________________________

Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. To perform this difficult office it is sometimes necessary for him to sacrifice happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being. —Carl G.

Sent from my iPadWe don't (and won't) circulate journals, bound or otherwise, for that very reason. Once in a great long while, I allow faculty to take something to class for a brief time, but that's VERY rare.Moira______________________________________

I'm curious whether it's common practice for academic libraries to circulate their bound art and architecture journals. My concern is that images and articles from heavily illustrated journals are subject to removal or sometimes the entire issue 'walks'. I have to admit that concern is based more on anecdotal evidence than any real data. And perhaps, as we move forward into a digital world, it's not such a worry. On the other hand, replacement costs (when replacement of an issue is even possible) are going up significantly.So -- a straw poll (if you're interested):Do you notice that heavily illustrated journals are subject to more damage than other journals?If so, does your library take measures to prevent or address the issue?Thanks much for your thoughts!Rebecca--Rebecca PriceArchitecture, Urban Planning & Visual Resources LibrarianArt, Architecture & Engineering Library2396 Duderstadt CenterUniversity of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2094"He guessed he was just one of those old dogs who was happiest at home.
