The ACRL/RBMS Guidelines Regarding Security and Theft in Special Collections <https://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/security_theft> are in the process of being revised. These guidelines are used by special collections and archival repositories across the United States and currently encourage punitive action to safe-guard collections, spaces, & staff. Please considering reading the Abolition in Special Collections group's statement to the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) Executive Committee and sign to support a revision that will make special collections reading rooms into safer spaces for all: https://bit.ly/AbSCstatementtoRBMS Alison Clemens, on behalf of Abolition in Special Collections group of the Abolitionist Library Association <https://abolitionistlibraryassociation.org/> ######################################################################## to manage your DLF-ANNOUNCE subscription, visit diglib.org/announce
