Re: Double Depth Shelving Query



This is standard in most records centers. What you can do is place to the
rear the least frequently used materials. You will need some type of
inventory system to track the location of the boxes. ARMA International has
a publication on covering records center operations. www.arma.org

there are numerous commercial software programs designed for just this
situation. each box generally will be barcoded.

The institution that I just started working for
has shelving that is two
boxes deep.  I've never seen this before and was
wondering if anyone on the
list could provide guidelines on what, if any,
principles of use apply to
this situation.  I personally do not like the fact
the a large percent of
the collection has been placed on the shelves so
that one box hides another.
Normally I would never use such a set up as it
makes it very difficult to
locate individual boxes, especially when their
original order, as is the
case here, is gets mixed up.

Thanking the list in advance
