Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 205, Issue 5

The librarians have to be aware of the TERMITE ATTACK, especially those libraries which have maintained archival and rare book collections. As the libraries do not open and function during lock down period, the collection is easily susceptible for termite attack. On weekly basis it is necessary to open the library and verify the book resources housed especially on ground floor.

PROTECTION OF YOUR LIBRARY RESOURCES DURING LOCK_DOWN
by Ashok Asundi 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

Dear All Librarian Friends, As you are aware there has been a “Lock-down” throughout thecountry due to COVID-19. I am sure youmight be worried about the your libraryand the precious collection. Please think over as it is likely that there issome concern for the Collection particularly big University Libraries. Recentlywe had rains in Karnataka. I presume that when you last locked-down yourlibrary doors, might have also shut-down the windows.. The Rains will create some fogging inside theStack rooms and also it might affect all your electronic gadgets especially LCDmonitors. Imagine a situation when youare driving a car suddenly it startsraining and you raise the window glasses. After a while inside the car you find“Fogging” if your car doesn’t haveair-condition the Wind Shield will becovered with Fog and similar situation is created inside the Library Stacks. SoI think you make a visit to your library with one or two assistants, if youfind some excess humidity open thewindows for an hour or so and run theCeiling fans in full for that duration. It is important for the libraries in Hillyareas and if you have room heaters use them for an hour. I thank Mr. Subhash Reddy for making an inquiry in this regard and Ithought it is essential to communicate this to all our librarian friends acrossthe country. Thanks, Prof. A.Y.Asundi
