Q&A Mark Robison & Lindley Shedd Francoeur

摘要

Animal skulls, musical instruments, and power tools aren't what many patrons expect to see when they enter the library. But, as editors Mark Robison and Lindley Shedd Francoeur point out in their book Audio Recorders to Zucchini Seeds: Building a Library of Things (see review, p. 89), nontraditional collections are becoming more popular. Robison and Francoeur jointly spoke with LJ about why this phenomenon is especially prevalent now, challenges that these holdings present, and some of the most unusual items they have encountered.
