[NHCOLL-L:1444] seismic restrains

[Laurel Casjens]

We are planning to install some kind of netting in front of open shelves 
holding herbarium folders to act as seismic restraints.  Does anyone have 
experience with such a project?  

We are especially interested in a system that will hold the netting tight when 
closed, but will be easy to open and close, so people will actually put it back 
when finished getting and returning specimens. 

Also, any ideas about the best type of netting to use would be very helpful. We 
want to be able to see through it if possible.

Thanks in advance
