One solution you might want to consider is an automated storage and
retrieval system. More information about the system at Sonoma State
University is available at http://libweb.sonoma.edu/about/ars.html or
directly from the vendor at http://www.hksystems.com. We are really
pleased with our system.
Good luck.
