[PADG:932] Re: Seek venue to publish environmental analysisarticle

[Jane Eagan <jane.eagan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The annual refereed journal of the book and paper group of the Institute
of Conservation, The Paper Conservator, features articles on all aspects
of collection care in libraries, archives, museums and galleries. This
journal is produced in the UK but has an international audience and a circulation
of some 3,000. If you would like to reach conservators of library and archive
materials involved in environmental monitoring and control, I'd suggest
The Paper Conservator.

Might I suggest Collections: A Journal for Museum and Archives Professionals. It only started publication in 2004, but it generally looks good to me. Publication information from our catalog is below.

Three KU faculty have been working (as a team) teaching architecture and engineering classes that first learn about collections environment research and then analyze and evaluate the environment in KU's Spencer Library (a standalone special collections building).  One of the architecture professors wants to publish something about their work. As of now he's considering focusing on the educational benefits of this project and also discussing how they've approached their analysis, what they've done and (if they're sufficiently far along) discuss results and future plans.

Here's my question:  We can think of library journals or architecture journals for publishing this but can't think that one or the other would be the ideal publishing venue.  Any ideas or advice about best place to publish something like this?
