Maximizing Library Storage with High-Tech Robotic Shelving
Amrhein, Rick; Resetar, Donna
Computers in Libraries, v24 n10 p6-8, 51-54, 56 Nov-Dec 2004
This article presents a plan of having a new facility for the library of Valparaiso University. The authors, as dean of library services and assistant university librarian for access services at Valpo, discuss their plan of building a Center for Library and Information Resources that would house more books while also providing computing centers, group study space, the campus writing center, a lecture hall, training classrooms, and community gathering space. They state that Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) had offered an excellent alternative for on-site, high-density storage at Valparaiso University, while offering as much as nine or ten times the storage space per square foot as standard library shelving. Furthermore, the authors explain what ASRS is, and how the collection is being prepared for storage in the bins.
