Collections of dress and textiles can make subjects such as history come to life. However previous studies have shown that many collections are underutilized within university settings. The purpose of this paper is to examine contributing and detracting factors for use. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with curators and collection managers (n = 15) at twelve institutions. Respondents were then asked to recommend faculty members who did (n = 9) or did not use the collection (n = 6). Through data analysis, four major themes were related by the collection managers including: 1) ambiguous roles and unknown collections, 2) continual need for collection management maintenance, 3) lack of process and access to the collections, and 4) misperceptions about the collections. Faculty that used the collection (n = 9) stated previous knowledge of the collection and the importance of material culture to student knowledge and understanding. Barriers as identified by those faculty that did not use the collection (n = 6) included lack of access and difficulty in scheduling time to use the collections.

“我可能应该知道更多:”在教学中使用历史悠久的大学藏书的原因和障碍

服装和纺织品的收藏可以使历史等主题栩栩如生。但是,以前的研究表明,大学环境中许多馆藏没有得到充分利用。本文的目的是研究有助于使用的因素和减损因素。在十二个机构与策展人和馆藏经理(n = 15)进行了深入的半结构化访谈。然后要求受访者推荐做过(n = 9)或未使用收藏的教师(n = 6)。通过数据分析,馆藏经理将四个主要主题联系在一起,包括:1)角色模棱两可和馆藏不明; 2)持续需要馆藏管理维护; 3)馆藏缺乏流程和访问权限; 4)对馆藏的误解。使用该馆藏的教师(n = 9)陈述了馆藏的先前知识以及物质文化对学生知识和理解的重要性。由不使用馆藏的教师确定的障碍(n = 6)包括缺乏访问权和安排使用馆藏时间的困难。
