We are a special collections within a larger library. Both the special collections and library have their own flickr accounts. For the archive I am the sole administrator (though I have tried to get other staff involved, but with no luck). With our library account (and all its social media accounts actually) there is a group with oversees it. The group communicates via listserv and the usernames and passwords to all the social media accounts are stored in a file on a shared password protected drive. Some members are more active than others in posting things to social media. We have a social media policy in place as well (a must). As the social media group as grown this has led to more questions and confusion over who should post, what is relevant, etc. We're currently trying to redo our policies.

As for flickr specifically we haven't run into any problems with it. For the archive I post our historical photos and the library usually posts things related to events, etc. We even have a flickr group based around a photography exhibit we are developing for the fall. We use it as our submission mechanism, and it's worked very well and was easy to set up. If you want to take a look at our flickr page (or any of our social media) you can find all of it at: http://www.uta.edu/library/news/socialmedia.php
Hope this helps!

Dear listers

 

We are looking to purchase a freezer for collection pest management.  Can anyone recommend a suitable freezer (that isn’t going to cost the earth!) that reaches the temperatures required to kill pests?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> Primary Research Group has published Museum and Library Special Collection Use of Major Internet Sites, ISBN 978-157440-242-1. The 133 page study examines how museums and library special collections are using major internet sites such as Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Google, Ning, Amazon, Bing, Wikipedia, LinkedIn, FlickR, Instagram, Twitter and other major sites. The study looks at how these institutions are using these sites for marketing, research, administration and other areas. The study looks particularly closely at how organizations use the many free services of Google including Google Drive, Google Translate, Google Docs, Google Scholar, Google Books and many others. In addition, it focuses strongly on the growing use of images and video, especially on sites such as YouTube and Vimeo, and the production costs that may be associated with the effective use of video on these and other sites. Just a few of the reportā€™s many findings are that: ā€¢ 4.00% find Google Translate ā€˜highly usefulā€™ in their professional library work, 18.00% find it ā€˜useful,ā€™ 40.00% find it ā€˜occasionally useful,ā€™ 8.00% find it ā€˜not very useful,ā€™ and 30.00% either do not know or do not use the site. ā€¢ 46.00% of respondents use Twitter in their professional life. ā€¢ 52.63% of the library special collections in the sample have developed special Facebook sites for their collections. ā€¢ The mean number of Pinterest ā€œpinsā€ for the organizations sampled was 255. Data in the report is broken out separately for US and Non-US institutions, by staff size, divisional budget, type of position (ie curator, librarian, info technology personnel, etc) and by type of museum or special collection.

Hi group

 

We have been having an ongoing discussion here at the Nashville Zoo regarding setting up a speakers' bureau for our various staff members who get asked to go to speaking engagements in the community. Based on the topic and expertise, the fees would be on a sliding scale. For example, a talk to a community group about the latest happenings at the zoo by our PR director (promotion) is free of charge, while an hour talk by our head veterinarian to a college biology group (techincal / professional) would be a hundred dollars.

 Thanks in advance!

It measures approximately 9’x12’, and needs to be moved through a doorway that measures 29” wide and about 8’ high. We’ve thought about trying to find a large diameter cardboard tube to roll it around, but haven’t had any luck in looking for one. The linoleum is brittle and may not survive rolling well at all, but it seems to be our only choice at the moment. Has anyone done this before? Do you have any suggestions for the most successful methods of lifting, moving, and storing a historic linoleum rug?

There are several companies that manufacture such tubes, but the largest and best known one is Sonoco who makes what are called Sonotubes which are made as concrete forms for pouring round concrete columns. You can find information about them at http://www.sonotube.com/products/sonotubeconcreteforms.aspx, or at Customer Service: 888-766-8823. I would imagine that a 24" or 26" dia. would work best for your situation. The tubes may be a little pricey for a one time simple use like you have. But since you're a non-profit educational institution, if you talk nicely to the supplier or a local concrete/masonry contractor, you might be able to convince them to let you borrow a tube for a day or two in order to get the linoleum rug out of the space it's in and to the place you want to take it. Once you've finished, simply return the tube in like-new condition to the folks you borrowed it from. You might also ask if they would be willing to deliver it to you and and pick it up since they have the trucks and the people to do such things. Thet might be willing to donate that as well, but if they are willing to loan you the tube, it would be best to at least offer to pay them for their time and expenses for the delivery and pick-up.

The papers probably include some information that I could use for a current project. I talked to the museum director on the phone about arranging a visit so I could review the material. The director told me that the museum has a policy that forbids access to its collections by outside researchers. She offered to have a staff member do the research for an hourly fee. Over the years I have occasionally encountered a museum or archive that charged outside researchers a fee to access its material, and of course many institutions will provide staff to research its collections for a fee as a convenience to outside scholars who for one reason or another do not wish to visit. But I have never before run into an institution that by policy will not allow outside access. But, then, I haven't been all that active the last few decades. So I'd like to know if this type of access (well, non-access) policy is unheard of, becoming common, common, or what. And, does AAM have a best practices policy position, or anything else on access--I wasn't able to find any specifics on the AAM website? Thanks for your help.

And where is the nearest safe storage/resting place for the rug? Having never seen a linoleum rug in person, I'm having a hard time envisioning it rolling, especially if it is old. Your measurements displayed funny in the e-mail string- is that 9 ft x 12 ft for the rug, and a 29 in x 8 ft door passage? (Seems about right- I study tenement building in Scotland at the turn of the century, that's near-ish the size of an interior door for a Glasgow tenement- pretty narrow but tall) Are these tile-based, or are they a big continuous sheet? If they're tiles, my suggestion would be to have a conservator take a look and give an opinion, but if you think they're too brittle to survive rolling, why not disassemble the tiles individually and then re-instal the rug tile by tile when the floor conservation is done? It would be a lot of work to label and track each one, but crumbling linoleum is even worse. It would be easier to store as well. I'd have reservations about storing it on the roll if you could find one, because again I don't know that it would roll smoothly on there, sagging or forcing it to lie flat on the tube might just damage it more. Tough to know without seeing the object. Good luck! Take pictures!

Kathleen-
How long do you anticipate keeping the rug out of place? And where is the nearest safe storage/resting place for the rug?
Having never seen a linoleum rug in person, I'm having a hard time envisioning it rolling, especially if it is old. Your measurements displayed funny in the e-mail string- is that 9 ft x 12 ft for the rug, and a 29 in x 8 ft door passage? (Seems about right- I study tenement building in Scotland at the turn of the century, that's near-ish the size of an interior door for a Glasgow tenement- pretty narrow but tall)

Are these tile-based, or are they a big continuous sheet? If they're tiles, my suggestion would be to have a conservator take a look and give an opinion, but if you think they're too brittle to survive rolling, why not disassemble the tiles individually and then re-instal the rug tile by tile when the floor conservation is done? It would be a lot of work to label and track each one, but crumbling linoleum is even worse. It would be easier to store as well. I'd have reservations about storing it on the roll if you could find one, because again I don't know that it would roll smoothly on there, sagging or forcing it to lie flat on the tube might just damage it more. 

Tough to know without seeing the object. 

Good luck! Take pictures!

Cheers,
Tracey Berg-Fulton

Kathleen,

Large diameter cardboard tubes can be found at building supply companies
that cater to the concrete construction industry. There are several
companies that manufacture such tubes, but the largest and best known one is
Sonoco who makes what are called Sonotubes which are made as concrete forms
for pouring round concrete columns. You can find information about them at
http://www.sonotube.com/products/sonotubeconcreteforms.aspx,
or at Customer Service: 888-766-8823.

I would imagine that a 24" or 26" dia. would work best for your situation.
The tubes may be a little pricey for a one time simple use like you have.
But since you're a non-profit educational institution, if you talk nicely to
the supplier or a local concrete/masonry contractor, you might be able to
convince them to let you borrow a tube for a day or two in order to get the
linoleum rug out of the space it's in and to the place you want to take it.
Once you've finished, simply return the tube in like-new condition to the
folks you borrowed it from. You might also ask if they would be willing to
deliver it to you and and pick it up since they have the trucks and the
people to do such things. Thet might be willing to donate that as well, but
if they are willing to loan you the tube, it would be best to at least offer
to pay them for their time and expenses for the delivery and pick-up.

Good luck,
Ralph

First and foremost, is the linoleum rug and artifact needing to be preserved in this move or are you expecting some potential damage and just want to minimize it. How long will the rug need to be out of the room and where will it be stored? What is the nature of the space outside the room once the rug has passed through the door? If the answer to the first question is, there can be no damage, I suggest that you consider raising it up, overhead, keeping it as flat as possible. Not as nutty as it sounds. You can get canvas 10' wide and this could be slid under the rug. The ends and sides are then be wrapped over a wood frame much like the back of a painters canvas. Additional wood or metal angle would need to be added to reduce flex and you would need to develop legs to suspend it. There will be a convex bow to this so if you wanted to only have a simple bow staple the canvas on only two edges. Note, the weight of this rug is going to be around 100 lbs. If you can accept some potential damage then using a cylinder as suggested by Ralph makes sense. Sonotube as suggested is the only reasonable approach since other large round tubes such as corrugated drain culverts are both heavier and more expensive. I question the wisdom of actually rolling it completely up as this will put tension on the whole face. I also suggest that the "role" be rug face in, slightly compressing the face finish rather that expanding it and cracking it. I suggest that you consider "draping" the rug over the tube by passing a 6 mil plastic sheet beneath the rug and floor, center the tube on the rug and bringing the rug over the top using the plastic sheet. I suggest plastic sheeting because of its low cost. The tube should be padded to ease any points of pressure and abrasion. The tube is then lifted and carried out with the rug sides hanging down. You will need some form of support such as tall sawhorses to keep the draped rug off the ground. Note the sonotube will weigh about 120 lbs and with the rug a total of around 220 to 250 lbs. If you do want to try rolling the rug completely around the cylinder you will still need to pad it and you should have a carrier such as the canvas or plastic sheet to keep as even a pressure on it as possible. But before you start any rolling you may want to consider testing to see if heating the rug from the back with a heat gun will make it more pliable and not damage the face or prevent the rug from laying flat again. This of coarse goes the the question of the rugs artifact value. Raising it to the ceiling doesn't sound so bad...

Kathleen,
A bit more specific information would help with providing suggestions/answers. First and foremost, is the linoleum rug and artifact needing to be preserved in this move or are you expecting some potential damage and just want to minimize it. How long will the rug need to be out of the room and where will it be stored? What is the nature of the space outside the room once the rug has passed through the door?

If the answer to the first question is, there can be no damage, I suggest that you consider raising it up, overhead, keeping it as flat as possible. Not as nutty as it sounds. You can get canvas 10' wide and this could be slid under the rug. The ends and sides are then be wrapped over a wood frame much like the back of a painters canvas. Additional wood or metal angle would need to be added to reduce flex and you would need to develop legs to suspend it. There will be a convex bow to this so if you wanted to only have a simple bow staple the canvas on only two edges. Note, the weight of this rug is going to be around 100 lbs.

If you can accept some potential damage then using a cylinder as suggested by Ralph makes sense. Sonotube as suggested is the only reasonable approach since other large round tubes such as corrugated drain culverts are both heavier and more expensive. I question the wisdom of actually rolling it completely up as this will put tension on the whole face. I also suggest that the "role" be rug face in, slightly compressing the face finish rather that expanding it and cracking it. I suggest that you consider "draping" the rug over the tube by passing a 6 mil plastic sheet beneath the rug and floor, center the tube on the rug and bringing the rug over the top using the plastic sheet.

Raising it to the ceiling doesn't sound so bad...

Kathleen,

Large diameter cardboard tubes can be found at building supply companies
that cater to the concrete construction industry. There are several
companies that manufacture such tubes, but the largest and best known one is
Sonoco who makes what are called Sonotubes which are made as concrete forms
for pouring round concrete columns. You can find information about them at
http://www.sonotube.com/products/sonotubeconcreteforms.aspx,
or at Customer Service: 888-766-8823.

I would imagine that a 24" or 26" dia. would work best for your situation.
The tubes may be a little pricey for a one time simple use like you have.
But since you're a non-profit educational institution, if you talk nicely to
the supplier or a local concrete/masonry contractor, you might be able to
convince them to let you borrow a tube for a day or two in order to get the
linoleum rug out of the space it's in and to the place you want to take it.
Once you've finished, simply return the tube in like-new condition to the
folks you borrowed it from. You might also ask if they would be willing to
deliver it to you and and pick it up since they have the trucks and the
people to do such things. Thet might be willing to donate that as well, but
if they are willing to loan you the tube, it would be best to at least offer
to pay them for their time and expenses for the delivery and pick-up.

Good luck,
Ralph
