As I weed the reference section in the art & design library here, my analog-y heart is torn over bibliographies in print.
For now, I think a good many are going to stay on the non-circulating shelves.
What have you done with the many in your collection?
Have you moved yours to the circulating collection? Sent them to remote storage? Withdrawn them?
Do you point students and faculty to them?
Some are such treasures! They pull information resources together and organize them in a way that no present electronic tool has superseded.
- Volume VIII of The American Association of Architectural Bibliographers’ PAPERS—entirely on environmental design in Hawaii.
- The History and Practice of Japanese Printmaking, by Leslie Abrams.
Brilliant!
