We need to do a massive shift of books in our library, something like 
200,000 volumes. Does anyone have experience with companies who do this 
kind of work?  We had one quote from a vendor whose cost was quite beyond 
our expectations. We welcome any comments on your experience or names of 
companies who have successfully completed such work for you.

Thank you,
