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.
