We have study-storage areas that were designed in the late 70s. We are
looking at ways we could update and improve upon the current format. Our
goal is to make the unstaffed experience more interactive so we're looking
at breaking up the flat glass wall with drawers, etc. If you have design
advice, please reply to the list. Thank you.

Subject: Re: Study storage
Colleagues:
I am seeking assistance from those of you who have study storage areas
that are accessible to faculty, students and scholars, under the
supervision of museum staff. We (a small liberal arts college) are
planning on making some of the objects in our ethnographic and Asian art
collections accessible in a study storage format. I'm seeking
information, guidance and suggestions regarding design, pros and cons,
flooring, policies, etc, particularly from those who work in a
university environment.
If you are able to help, can you please contact me directly, off the list?
Many thanks,
Kaytie Johnson
