Opis

Published over a decade ago, the first edition of "Moving Library Collections" was hailed as invaluable and long overdue by, among others, " Booklist," "Library Talk," and "College and Research Libraries." 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, "Moving Library Collections: A Management Handbook, 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 guidelines for small libraries.
