Curators like Dragons

http://chronicle.com/article/A-Gentle-Reminder-to/65235

Let this, then, serve as a gentle reminder to rare-book curators that your job is not to keep readers from your books but just the opposite: to facilitate readers’ use of the collections. If altruism or professional integrity aren’t sufficient motivators to get you to play nice, you might consider the fact that you have a job only because people want to read what’s in those collections, and you will keep your job for only as long as readers feel welcome to approach you to make use of the materials.
