I'd posted a while ago about protection from water damage.  Our 

insurance company is requiring we do something to protect our 

collections from water damage that might result from leaks from the 

floor above, a burst pipe, sprinklers, etc.  We're now looking into 

covering our shelves and flat files with polyester sheeting but are 

unsure of the best way to secure the sheeting.  We're also looking for a 

mechanism that will make it relatively easy to raise and lower the 

sheeting in order to access the collections.  Does anyone have any 

suggestions?

Thanks,

Beth Kleber
