It is not necessary to put glass over a framed oil painting, however if you prefer the look it is perfectly alright to do so.

When oil paint cures it hardens to a surface that is strong enough to protect it from fading or damage from the elements common inside a home.

If you choose not to put glass over an oil painting you may have to occasionally run a lint free cloth over it (gently) to remove dust.

Should you frame a serigraph with or without glass?

It depends on why you are framing it, what material the serigraph is on (cloth or paper, or something else...), and how long you want it to last. The main reason for glass in framing is usually protection from people... touching an artwork can sometimes hurt it over a long period of time. If the concern is only to display the silkscreen print, then personal preference rules. See this page for other matting and framing discussion: http://www.princetonaudubon.com/HTML%20Pages/matting_and_framing.htm Most paper products should be framed with glass, this is mainly for protection from airborn pollutants. Most framers will advise that you space the glass with either a mat or a spacer.
