We are using data loggers at various levels within our off-site
facility, constructed on the Harvard Model. I can have Carl Stewart contact
you off list if you want exact locations. Some are HOBO Pro’s. He is checking
the data every two months on the HOBO’s. Early indications are a layering of environmental conditions:
good conditions at lower shelves, warmer and more unstable near the upper shelves.
We have also placed a PEM2 near a film collection of considerable value. We
were concerned about this more vulnerable media. Our data (taken since May)
was recently processed through WebERA, and the conditions there near the film
are “good” according to the IPI preservation metrics. We will continue
monitoring for one full year to get a more accurate picture of the conditions
year-round. Patricia Morris Faculty Director, Pres. Dept. Univ. Libraries Univ. of Colorado at Boulder Boulder, CO 80309-0184 303-492-3849 FAX 303-492-0494 From: Paula De Stefano
[mailto:pd3@xxxxxxx] Hi
all, I
would appreciate hearing from anyone who has intake policy or procedures for
materials entering their library’s offsite storage facility that protect
against contaminates, such as mold and insects, being introduced into the
facility, or any policies regarding cleanliness of materials. Also,
I’m interested in what type of environmental monitoring people are using.
Dataloggers? If so, what type, what strategy was used to place them and how often
are they checked? Are you satisfied with them? Thank
you! Paula ________________________________ Paula De Stefano (destefano@xxxxxxx) Head, Preservation Department Barbara Goldsmith Preservation & Conservation Department New York University Libraries 70 Washington Square South, LL2 New York, NY 10012 Phone: 212/998-2563 Fax: 212/995-4566 |
