Summary

Sooner or later, almost every librarian is faced with the task of moving a collection. It is a daunting challenge, mammoth in scope. Yet missing the slightest detail can be devastating - in one instance, a measurement error of only a half-inch threw off two entire sections of shelving. Now, this must-have resource returns in a fully updated new edition to help today's librarians think through the issues, explore the options, and avoid the pitfalls of orchestrating a library move. Again based on data from over 100 library moves, this second edition is written from the perspective of today's library, with added guidance for dealing with larger holdings of electronic resources, as well as space limitations in storage and on the shelves. There is also updated coverage of average book widths, using project management software, and moving archival materials, as well as special guidance for small libraries.
