Good Morning Everyone,

 

First off, I hope everyone is well and staying safe. 

 

During this time, it seems staff is thinking about those items which have been pushed down the “to-do” list.  Our Prints, Drawings, and Photography Department would like a way to indicate if an object is not suitable for travelling or viewing in their study room.  Some of the reasons an object would be  flagged are the following: fragile medium, fragile object, past light exposures, etc.  It seems a system could be developed across the collection not just for one department.

 

I would be interested to see how others are tracking this in their systems.  Thanks for sharing your ideas, solutions, and attribute lists.

 

Best,

Renee
