17、239.79-2001. It is included for information only.) This standard addresses environmental factors that should be considered in planning and mounting an exhibit of library and archival materials. The NISO Standards Commit- tee that developed this standard has sought only to establish control parameter

18、s that minimize the potential for damage in an exhibition environment. In presenting these control parameters, the Committee has used phrasing established for NISO standards. Therefore, practices that the Committee agrees are mandatory are phrased as a “shall“ statement. Practices that the Committee

19、 agrees are desirable but not mandatory are phrased as a “should“ statement. Sections 1 and 2 of the standard describe its scope and purpose, and define technical terms used in the standard. Sections 3 through 6 establish the environmental standards for light exposure, relative humidity, temperature

20、, and pollutants. Sections 7, 8, and 9 establish standards for case and display materials and construction. Appendix A pro- vides supplementary information as a foundation for the criteria presented in each of the preceding sections. Appendixes B and C list materials generally recognized to be safe

21、and not safe in the construction of exhibit cases, and physical supports or re- straints for exhibiting library and archival materials. This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the National Information Standards Organization. It was balloted by the NISO Voting Members Novemb

22、er 23, 1998 - January 4, 1999. It will next be reviewed in 2006. Suggestions for improving this standard are welcome. They should be sent to the National Information Standards Organization, 4733 Bethesda Avenue, Suite 300, Bethesda, MD 2081 4. NISO approval of this standard does not imply that all V

23、oting Members voted for its approval. At the time it approved this standard, NISO had the following Voting Members: NISO Voting Members 3M Jerry Kare1 Carolyn Egeberg (Alt) Academic Press A. W.

41、onmental Conditions for Exhibiting Library and Archival Materials 1. Scope and Purpose This standard is designed so that the user is required to select specific limits for a particular exhibition situation. A number of options may be used to meet the standard. This choice will depend in part on (a)

42、the types, characteristics and condition of material being exhibited, (b) local climatic conditions, (c) considerations of human comfort, (d) available technology for environmental control systems, (e) constraints of existing exhibition areas and exhibit cases, and (f) cost considerations. The limit

43、s chosen should fall within the range of limits recommended in the standard. 1.1 Scope The standard establishes criteria for the environmental factors that contribute to the deterioration of library and archival materials that are on temporary exhibition, .e., for a period of time lasting no longer

44、than 12 months. Exhibitions of a longer duration or permanent exhibitions fall outside the scope of this standard, although many aspects of the standard may be applied to exhibitions of longer duration. Specifically, the standard recommends values or ranges for light, relative humidity, temperature,

45、 and pollutants. It also recommends acceptable components and techniques for the construction and use of exhibit cases and supports. 1 .I .I Library and Archival Materials Included This standard relates to individual bound volumes in various binding styles and com- posed of various materials, printe

46、d ephemera, flat paper, and vellum items (manu- scripts, art on paper, etc.), and photographs. 1 .I .2 Library and Archival Materials Excluded This standard does not relate to textiles, sculpture, decorative art objects, art on canvas, or other items not based on paper or vellum that may be found in

47、 libraries and archives. 1 .I .3 Environmental and Physical Conditions Included This standard addresses environmental conditions, including exposure to light, relative humidity, temperature, and pollutants, that directly affect exhibited items. These include the microenvironment (within the exhibit

48、case or frame), the macroenvironment (out- side the exhibit case but within a room), and the relationship between the macroenvironment and the environment within new or existing exhibit cases. In addi- tion, the method of support of exhibited items is addressed. 1 .I .4 Environmental and Physical Co

49、nditions Excluded This standard does not address environmental or physical conditions for library and archival materials in transit, or physical supports that are to be used for long-term storage at the conclusion of an exhibition. Page 1 DEFINITIONS ANSVNISO 239.79-2001 1.2 Purpose This standard is intended to set parameters for environmental and physical exhibit conditions that minimize the potential for damage to library and archival materials on display.
