Moveable Compact Shelving: The Current Answer
Abstract
The compact shelving discussed in this article is defined as moveable shelving driven, in the main, by electric power. The shelving eliminates all but one aisle in any set of ranges of shelving. Most such shelving moves in a perpendicular direction on rails mounted on the floor. Moveable compact shelving provides a successful permanent answer to the storage and preservation problems that afflict many libraries. Its advantages greatly outweigh its minor disadvantages. “Any library which installs such a system will find that it has made a prudent and cost‐effective investment.”
