Some
thoughts from “Living in the Library World” A Library Blog
Shelving
In
a busy library, shelving and shelf work is a never-ending and seemingly,
thankless task.
The
arrangement of books in the library makes them accessible and usable by library
patrons.
If
materials are misplaced or never re-shelved, locating information can be
impossible.
Many
libraries fail to realize the importance of shelf work!
The
quality, speed, and efficiency with which shelving is carried out will affect
how patrons view the library and its services.
Backlogs
of un-shelved materials cause delays in service because patrons must wait for
the un-shelved items to be located.
Misshelfed
or “out of place” materials can not only slow down service, but also cause
needless Missing Tags for items.
Shelving
and shelf work is critical to the efficiency and effectiveness of any
library!
