Barbara:

This is indeed our understanding at Duke.  All our holdings (we lack volume
2) come from the largess of visiting faculty.  Attempts to set up standing
orders have likewise been fruitless.  This is a very old world conception
of information dispersal.  I wonder if there is something that art
librarians could do as a group to bring a formal request that the Institute
change its policy?
