Original question:
From: Lorelei Tanji <ltanji_at_lib.uci.edu>
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.

The University of Maryland is in the process of implementing a shift of
our collections in our main library (humanities, social sciences, life
sciences) over the next six months. We are moving all serials to movable
shelving within the building. This proposal was developed over a year
ago. Information on the plan including the detailed report of the
planning committee is available at
http://www.lib.umd.edu/RENOVATION/mckstacks.html.
