----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I would be very interested to know if the art collection of the public library were to be transferred to the University, would the public still have unrestricted access to the materials as they did prior to the move? Most universities with which I am acquainted do not permit the public at large to borrow materials, although I know there are exceptions. Also, if these are materials purchased with public funds, where is the justification for deaccessing them? Donna Holovack, MLS Library Development Consultant The State Library of Ohio 65 S.
