Hi, MUSEUM-L people. I received the following request for info from a colleague and thought I'd post it for your input and comments. Thanks in advance for your help and expertise.

We at the Peab. are interested in exploring open viewing storage systems
that allow the public to see more of the collection than normally they
would encounter in an exhibition.  This idea of course is developed
differently by different institutions according to their collections
needs.  "Open storage" was in vogue some years ago and seems to be making
a comeback (if I read trends correctly).  Anyhow, what I would like is
titles of references that might come to mind on the subject.  Can you
think of any you have seen?  Thanks in advance.

Larry
