Dear ARLIS/NA colleagues,

Thanks to all the responses that I've received to my query and I'll try and summarize for the list.

All this feedback is useful and really appreciated, but I am mainly interested in instances where library books are placed in museum galleries on open bookshelves, or tables and intended for handling by the public.  

Perhaps a "browsing" area for library books within the museum space is a better way to think of it -- library books that are not in exhibit cases and not tied down.   Are they duplicates purchased by the library for the purpose of creating a library browsing area within the galleries or museum space?    Have you experienced a lot of theft or damage to the books?  Any information regarding such an arrangement would be welcome. 

Thanks for any further input,

--Lyn

Subject: [ARLIS-L] library books in museum gallery spaces

 

Dear ARLIS/NA colleagues,

 

I would be interested in hearing from any library that has collaborated with museums by placing some of their library books in museum galleries for use by the viewing public, either in conjunction with specific exhibitions, or for more general purposes. 

 

Any experiences (pros and cons) you'd wish to share would be greatly appreciated.  Please reply directly to me at the email below.

 

Thanks for your input,

 --Lyn
