Does anyone out there have any experience with
public-access compact shelving of a large research library collection
comprised of bound periodicals? NYU-BOBST LIBRARY plans to
consolidate all of its bound periodicals onto public-access (ie, browsable)
compact shelving. How was the collection organized -- by title? by
call number? Since titles will grow, how did you manage leaving room?
There is also some concern about moving what could be
medium- to high-use items like recent science journals onto compact
shelving. Will users need to "take a number" to browse?
Any advice to the small task force investigating this would
be most welcome. Thank you.
