Busch-Reisinger Museum’s Library
To be Partitioned for Staff Offices
It is written by GAY W. SEIDMAN.
Content Summary:
The article reports that the library of the Busch-Reisinger Museum will be partitioned into small offices for members of the Fine Arts Department and museum staff, effective the following year. This move necessitates the amalgamation of approximately 700 uncatalogued books from the Busch library into the Fine Arts Library at the Fogg Museum. Duplicate books will be sold at the Fogg’s annual duplicate sale.
Key points include:
Beneath the article, there is a handwritten note in cursive ink:
Crimson 5/28/75

The image is a photograph of a newspaper clipping mounted on a brown paper sheet. The clipping is from the "Crimson" dated May 28, 1975. The headline reads, "Busch-Reisinger Museum's Library To be Partitioned for Staff Offices." The article is authored by Gay W. Midman.
The article discusses the decision to partition the Busch-Reisinger Museum's library to create more office space for staff members. The library, which houses approximately 700 uncatalogued books, will be divided into small offices. The books will be relocated to the Fogg Art Museum's Library, where duplicate books will be sold at the Fogg's annual duplicate sale.
Seymour Slive, director of the Fine Arts Department, explains that the partitioning is necessary because the staff members currently lack office space. The library's books were previously used by staff and students, but they have since been dispersed and exhibited in other museums. The books will be more accessible to students and researchers if they are catalogued and placed in the Fogg. Slive also mentions that the partitioning of the library at the Fogg, when it is "crowded" with staff and artwork, is "ex-ploding" with staff and artwork. Slive was appointed acting director of the Fogg Art Museum in September after the resignation of Daniel Robbins. Slive was confirmed as full director in March.

Duplicate books at the Fogg will be sold at the Fine Arts' annual duplicate sale.
The article also mentions that Seymour Burr, professor of Fine Arts, explained Monday that the space is needed for staff members who now have offices in Aliston Burr Hall, which will be closed for repair work after January 1, 1976. The article quotes Daniel Robbins, who was confirmed as the full director in March, as saying that the partitioning is "simply a matter of carrying out more office space, because we have more people than we have offices and we have more people than we have offices and we have more people than we have offices."
The article also mentions that the books will be more accessible to students and researchers if they are catalogued and placed in the Fogg, and that the books which are sent to other museums will be more accessible to students and researchers if they are catalogued and placed in the Fogg. The article concludes by mentioning that the partitioning of the library is an "ex-ploding" problem at the Fogg, which is "ex-ploding" with staff and artwork.
