Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
I'm retired, but can share reasons why it was kept at my past places of employment: > Some of the Black & White photographs did not end up in the online version (due to rights), so this was an added source of images. > Sometimes it was simply faster & easier to browse through content alphabetically in the print version (and quickly get to a list of references). > For the longest time the abbreviations (in the references) in the online version were rather impossible for students to decipher. > As a back-up during network outages & power failures. (Granted a rare occurrence, but it's happened!) > As evidence of the state of the field at the time of publishing. > I left the Univ. of Texas at Austin Architecture & Planning Library in Aug. 2007, so do not know the current situation there, but at that time I kept it our copy the Reference stacks, where it shelved near the Encyclopedia of World Art (kept because of the larger plates & as another source of images & references). But U.T. Austin had purchased 4 different copies for 4 different library locations, so they got rid of several copies. > > I left the UCLA Arts Library in December, and our copy was still kept in our reference stacks (near our reference desk), but that's mostly because there's no room for it in our circulating stacks. The UCLA Arts Library usually hires a couple of library science graduate students each year, to work part-time providing reference services, I always spent time in the Reference Stacks to orient these employees to reference sources & to discuss the types of frequent questions we encounter. In my experience, students are less like to be familiar with print reference sources and this was also a way for me to start a discussion about how I go about making decisions about what I select for reference vs for the stacks or off site storage, and how a reference collection can be used as 'an index' to the stacks and that this can help them guide students who want to browse relevant sections of the stacks. Of course that only worked in the pre-COVID days, when the library was open. In any case, the fact that UCLA has an MLIS program and that we endeavour to expose students to a breadth of reference publications would be part of my decision to retain a copy in the Arts Library. > > Cheers, > > Janine Henri > > >> On Tue, May 11, 2021 at 2:46 PM Robin Rank <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >> Dear List Members, >> >> >> >> If your library has Oxford Art Online with Grove Art Online, have you kept the 1996 print set of the Grove Dictionary of Art, edited by Jane Turner (34 volumes)? >> >> >> >> I would love to hear the story of your decision, whether the decision was to keep or to withdraw. >> >> >> >> Thank you very much, >> >> Robin Rank >> >> >> >> >> >> ****************************** >> Robin Rank >> Reference and Instruction Librarian >> Kalamazoo College Library >> pronouns: she/her/hers >> >> email: [log in to unmask] >> Teams Chat with Robin >> >> Visit our Library website >> >> >> >> Make an appointment for research help from Anywhere! >> >> >> >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >> Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
