A robotic library system for an off-site shelving facility
Proceedings 2002 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.02CH37292)
An autonomous mobile robotic library system has been developed to retrieve items from bookshelves and carry them to scanning stations located in the off-site shelving facility. ...
Consequently, many libraries have built or plan to build off-site shelving facilities to accommodate printed materials. ...
In subsequent sections of this paper, we report the design, control systems, experiments and results of an autonomous robotic library system for an off-site shelving facility, the Moravia Park shelving ...

The imperative to manage print collections collaboratively
2012
Journal of College and University Libraries
For a reliable new system of print provision to emerge a network of supply repositories and committed consumer institutions must be established along with a business support infrastructure. ...
Academic libraries should move to a shared collection model relying on supply services from remote storage facilities or other academic libraries that have declared a commitment to preserve print copies ...
While libraries have been duplicating one another s collections they have also been putting more and more of their inventory into off-site storage repositories. ...
