TOPIC:  "Fighting For The Cause: Food and Drink Policies in the Library"

Food and drink policies have been highly controversial issues in academic
research libraries of all sizes.  The Preservation Issues in Small to
Mid-Sized Preservation Programs Discussion Group will explore the
controversy and attitudes of this issue and invite your participation.  We
will use ARL SPEC Kit #237, _Managing Food and Drink in ARL Libraries_, to
assist our discussion.  

We want to gather additional information and would appreciate your help.  

If you have any policies on food and drink in the library, please send us a
copy, or URL if it's on a web site.  Here is a mini-survey 

1.  Does your library have a food and drink policy?
--yes
--no

2.  What year was the policy established/disbanded?

3.  How is the policy enforced?
--not enforced
--security staff
--library staff
--combination library staff/security staff
--other

4.  Do you have a coffee/snack bar in the library?
--yes
--no

IF YES:
4.  What year did it open?

5.  Does the coffee/snack bar generate funds for support for 
preservation efforts or concerns?
--yes
--no

6.  If you have no snack bar now, is there one planned for the future?
