Dear CollDv-L, 

We will be installing compact shelving and one of our scenarios is to 
relocate all the humanities/social sciences/arts bound periodicals into 
compact shelving, while keeping the current unbound issues in the Current 
Periodicals Room.  At the present time, the bound periodicals are integrated 
with monographs, and arranged by their respective call numbers on
conventional book shelves. 

Question:  I would be curious to hear from other libraries about whether 
they have done something similar and whether this has worked well from the 
perspective of your library users and from the the perspective of your library 
staff. 

Thanks in advance,
