Subject: For or against dust covers?

My student workers are annoyed by the black metal and vinyl dust covers
inside the drawers. Some have been removed and not replaced as they
have warped or broken. I am planning an experiment in which we will
remove all the dust covers from 25% of the collection, and see how it
goes over the fall semester.
Does anyone have an arguement for or against dust covers?
I used to have trouble with the Michigan topo maps curling up in the
front and catching on the top of the drawer as it is opened. But I
don't have that problem anymore since those particular maps were put in
acid-free posterboard-weight folders.
