You are in California, so I would guess earthquake proofing the shelves. It can be use quite effectively to make barriers on the open side of the shelves to prevent items from sliding or hopping off the shelf during an earthquake. _____________________________________________ Jill Jackson 206-342-2231 ________________________________ From: Archives & Archivists [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Curtis, Lori (LLU) Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 12:53 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Use for netting Dear Members, As part of my "Welcome to your new job" here at Loma Linda University, the entire Archives and Special Collections staff held a Spring Cleaning day, and while cleaning out a closet we found two very large rolls of clear netting, similar to what one would use in their garden to keeps birds from getting at the produce, but a little stiffer. I have been wracking my brain as to what a former archivist had in mind for the netting. Could anyone on the list enlighten me as to possible archival uses of such material? Be creative! Thank you in advance. The curiosity is killing me. Lori N. Curtis Lori N.
