- The University of York Library underwent a major refurbishment of its main JB Morrell Library building from 2010 to 2012 to modernize facilities, improve study spaces, and better support changing pedagogical needs.
- User surveys and space utilization data informed the vision of creating a library that supported deep research as well as group and individual student work in a technology-rich environment.
- The project delivered innovative study spaces while respecting the original building design, and improved the student experience, as shown in improved LibQUAL+ survey results after completion.
This document discusses Iron Mountain's new approach to offsite storage for libraries. It proposes a dual strategy of long-term archival storage using new automated storage and retrieval systems for preservation, and temporary "swing space" storage using existing records management facilities and services for shorter-term needs. Key takeaways are that Iron Mountain is developing more cost-effective archival storage solutions using new technology, leveraging existing real estate and services to offer short-term options, and seeking guidance on developing individual and consortial solutions.
The document discusses LIBISnet's implementation of Alma, Ex Libris' unified library management system. LIBISnet serves as the central library automation provider for KU Leuven University and several other institutions. It was seeking to consolidate multiple legacy systems onto a single platform to optimize workflows and extend services. After several years of testing and pilot implementations with Ex Libris, LIBISnet launched Alma in July 2014, migrating nearly 6 million bibliographic records and over 1 million patron records for 33 institutions onto the new system. Considerable training, communication, and planning went into preparing staff and ensuring a smooth transition.
The document summarizes the evolution of the Aquaculture Fisheries Research and Educational Library (AFREL) at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
It describes how AFREL started as an underfunded library with no librarian and many lost books, and transformed in 2005 with a capacity building grant that provided furnishings, a librarian, online journals and databases. Title III funding later helped expand the journals collection.
Currently, AFREL has approximately 1000 fisheries books, 45 online journals, and sees 3000 visits per year. It functions as a cyberlibrary providing online and physical resources to students, faculty and the public. However, its physical space is now cramped and limits growth and new services like distance learning

The document summarizes a large-scale weeding project at East Carolina University's J.Y. Joyner Library to free up 3,000 square feet of space. The library withdrew print journals and reassigned staff to catalog electronic backfiles purchased from publishers. Selection criteria prioritized withdrawing incomplete runs, titles no longer relevant, and those available digitally. Materials were sent to storage or recycling. The resulting space was used to create offices, meeting rooms, and study areas to support students with learning disabilities.
The document outlines a case made by Bill Myers to university administrators to construct a high-density remote storage facility for low-use library materials at the University of Kansas Libraries. It describes threats of limited shelving capacity and space for users. It provides data showing collection and user space needs exceed capacity. The proposal recommends transforming library spaces to focus on student needs, relieve crowded shelves, and provide affordable remote storage for less frequently used materials. Financial information and specifications for the proposed Building and Remote Access Depository (BARD) are presented, with the goal of preserving materials and better serving students.
This document discusses strategies for weeding library collections at SUNY Potsdam's Crumb Library. Due to limited shelf space, the library needed to weed over 11,000 volumes from the stacks by summer 2012. Committees were formed to review periodicals and monographs published between 1850-1950 with zero circulations. Reports were run to identify candidates for withdrawal and librarians gathered additional data on titles. Lists of items were compiled and reviewed collaboratively before being submitted to faculty for feedback. The goal was to shift collections to prioritize more heavily used materials while maintaining important resources.
Islandora Webinar: Highlighting CUHK Chinese Digital CollectionsErin Tripp
The webinar will feature a presentation and Q&A session with Jeff Liu, Digital Services Librarian and Louisa Lam, Head, Research Support and Digital Initiatives at the CUHK Library.
The CUHK Library has curated a collection of over five million digital objects in the past 20 years. It features Chinese literature, culture, arts, politics, society and religion. Until recently, the collection was stored in a broad range of different systems, complicating the discovery of these precious digital assets.
In 2015, librarians at CUHK embarked on a project to find a permanent, single platform for digital content. Objectives of the project included enhanced discoverability, multi-language support (Chinese, Japanese & Korean) and custom development capability to modify display and viewing features that would showcase Chinese literature in its true form.
Islandora met all the functional requirements and more, including support for digital humanities projects and access to a user-driven open source software community.
The CUHK library was also attracted to the vendor services and support available through discoverygarden. We provided advice, support and custom development assistance; contributing to the launch of the digital repository every step of the way.
The repository (http://repository.lib.cuhk.edu.hk) officially launched in February 2016, making the CUHK Library digital initiatives pioneers in Hong Kong.
This document discusses library book arrangement systems. It begins by outlining the benefits of good arrangement, such as being user friendly and enabling easy location of materials. The document then describes the current system used by the library, which groups books by faculty and subject. However, this system faces challenges as the collection grows, such as limited space. To address this, the document proposes implementing the Dewey Decimal Classification system, which organizes materials by subject in a hierarchical manner from general to specific to accommodate growth. Adopting this internationally recognized system would make the collection more user friendly and improve services.

Editor's Notes
30 minute presentation at Dublin Institute of Technology Staff day 17 June 2008
These are the 4 areas which I wd like to cover. Interestingly, start with by looking at what we have in common between our 2 institutions Go on to look at UCD's experiences with recent moves. in particular with the staffing and collections. And the impacts on our systems, i.e. bibliographic etc. Hopefully by focusing on our experiences, you may see some parallels, or indeed contrasts with regards to your own particular needs..
Taking the commonalities Raw student figures, similar Go through briefly. Hope not take as long where the similarities end Very significant year for UCD.
All library services still in Earlsfort Terrace JJL 13,000m2
Make the point about the long tail. Still academics in agriculture and chemistry who lament loss of library. New electronic environment , different, no academics enter library now. Controversial at the time. UCD forced to purchase Carysfort teacher training college You can decide which are comparator for your library JJL 13,000m2, 820,000 vols. Architecture, 480msq, 25,000 vols. Blackrock, 500msq, 20,000 vols.
HS 72,000 vos. Xx staff Vet Etc moving xx lm of stock from JJL to new storage facility Vet 440 m2, 30,000 vols. Nursing, 130msq 5,000 vols. ET 1450 msq, 100,000 vols. 2001 T he Centre for Synthesis and Chemical Biology 2003 N ovaUCD Phillips site
We obviously put lots of thought into what we wanted a building to do for us and our users. Big piece of work, which then informs the design and planning process We thought about how we wanted to work, what types of spaces we wanted and of course try to anticipate future needs. But useful to realise that every space is unique and will create its own ambience and dynamic whether its through different presentation of space, design or its relationship to its external environment. New spaces will shape how you go about your work, the new work dynamic, My feeling is that it is good to be open to that, and the opportunities if offers. Be patient, it will take time and snagging to get to understand the full potential of your new space begs the question, which comes first, symbiotic relationship
Of course compromises also. Take our example. Our shopping list, The vet experience. Importance of architect client relationship Library was not the prime clients. Copper fasten your communication channels in advance. We could not get all these things in the available space, so service counters and office on 2 floors. We were working to change our working relationship. Small Bibliographic, Ill, circulation teams in a complement of 13 fulltimes. teams. unsustainable in new environment with 2 counters. Wanted to avoid separation between units upstairs/downstairs Our approach : Mixing the teams, + liaison libns office, Working well. Staff moving up and down with the workflows. Other crucial learning curve is for people to see the whole space as their place of work and not just their desk/office. the JJL experience LA and ALS The school of nursing IRM more aware of site needs and constraints, etc. Org structure crucial, Team based approach to functions across sites, on site greater rationalisation. Decision to centralise the irm function, less need for space for this function. Large single offices to open plan offices
Plus specific meeting by project planning group. Relocation meetings, who loads boxes, IT equipment, etc.
Getting there, parking, etc maps, plans, photos, furniture, lockers etc How job responsibilities might change Reporting/communication structures The new technologies and services, CIrculation & Information Services, Room booking, Multimedia room, PA System/CCTV/Alarm, Compact shelving, REetrieval from storage, IT Support, AV support, Access control gates, TV screens. Suggestions/recommendations/developing your role, Opportunities with the move Training for new building
Most useful exercise. Allowed staff to articulate concerns and look at them more objectively Being realistic and objective about the the benefits of the move the downsides
People Strong affinity with the building Location wonderful Transport good. Spacious offices Shopping parking
Great pride in levels of service These mirror the staff page. So what are the risks
SO the threats then So the downsides then
pop directly onto trolley and off again more complex when you are moving between site, with transport logistics, 3 sets of trolleys, cannot really rent Check your exit routes, ground surfaces, wear & tear on trolleys, breakages. Need truck with a tail lift
capacity problem, need the next set of trolleys to return before you can load. cannot build up a surplus.
Earlsfort to Health Sciences move 110/4 = 27.5 days 5 runs per day 110/5 = 22 days 1735 linear meteres to be moved to HSL ( Xmas 06) 68 runs 14-17 days 1074 to be moved to Newstead Book Store ( Summer 07 Move undertaken by Library Staff x 5 x Casuals Need 60 x trolleys 20 trolleys in ET with 3 staff ( 1 x HS and 2 x Casual) 20 trolleys in transit with 2 staff ( 1 x LbAtt and 1 x Casual) 20 trolleys in HS with 3 staff ( 1 x HS and 2 x Casual) Prob. For a while only had van taking 8 trolleys and no tailgate
More recent moves are with crates Can build up a stockpile of crates Crates less manoeuvrable when reshelving
Level 3 to Newstead move Compare with the trolley move. 26LM per load V 75LM 4 loads = 104LM V 75LM (At present running bit less). Crates slower, but balance out. Cannot have professional movers using the trolley system
Sourcing out the work DO you outsource or use own staff. Last summers crate move with hired help. this year Richview and l3 move with professional movers. working really well. Still need library supervisors but the reliability, is the big bonus. Costs balances out when you factor in the levels of supervision required for student/temp help, the admin in recruitment, contracts, timesheets. Professionals: get on with it, used to the work, guaranteed numbers. Students: Supervision, not their main thing, no shows, rota 6 to ensure 4 >coming & going, patterns, disjointed building up flows. Plan the adjustment of shelves to fit different size books.
Info resources policy informs what goes to shelves, to storage, to bin Used a stripped down, lean version to inform decision making Donations crucial. Academics clearing out offices. Unexpected donations, not planned for. Weeding, reference collection. Journals for storage. weeding official pubs. Discarded acts, statutes, etc Journals.transferring SALE of books at 2 euro each. Some good bargains. The bad stuff didn’t go even for free! Stocktake, didn’t do. Tidied the shelves. Doesent affect the actual move if you use shelf measurements. minimise the duplications
Preparation at the front end. Loose issues, and pamphlet boxes. Increase by a third. We had to factor 203 LM extra to box the runs.
All collections measured during summer when most materials on shelves. Planned sufficient space for the both collections plus expansion, 5yrs growth however calculations based on shelving bays of 5 shelves, not counting the 6th expansion shelf.
Used detailed architects drawings but found simple spatial schematic worked best. For the broader allocation of collections to spaces
your challenge more significant. we had small example of nursing collection of 70lm to be integrated into larger medical collection. already significant p/g nursing collectoin. Note indicates another title x 8 copies to go in next. Classmark listings. Typical problems, same books different classmarks or suffixes, as separate cataloguing
Big bang move or staged moves If latter some of our problems of relevance e.g. civ eng library continuing so could not traqnsfer overthe journal records. would have lost the historical element. Titles at differing clasmarks Sequences, gen, docs, s for store, reduced to 9 Check that all sequences covered. E.g. nursing pamphlets sequence was not on the master list. Had to be physically amended. Likewise notes on records. ,ie return to issue desk.
Gave students extra long loans periods, incorporated slips into books, ets Set messages on all nursing books on loan so that fines waived on their return. Communication with schools
Previously shared phones, now one per person Post, notifying all your suppliers and other stakeholders, irish, international directories. Contacting suppliers huge. Unable to mail merge. Sticky labels instead and new excel doc. Need decision early on your exact address. Your formal name and address, your new telephone and fax contact details for letterheads, etc. Long follow up with suppliers. Not to forget your students. Blissfully ignore the move until your library is no longer there!
Clear out offices early Discard policies for materials Confidential materials
