Abstract

Provides an overview of the installation of electrically and mechanically assisted compact shelving and procedures for relocating over 2.000 linear feet of books, scores, recordings and manuscripts, prior to, during and after installation of such a system at Bowling Green State University (BGSU), Ohio, USA. In the light of concern expressed by librarians that patrons would be dissatisfied with the accompanying restrictions such as reduced browsing capability, slow retrieval, and their need to obtain instruction in operating the shelving, a survey was conducted among graduate and undergraduate students to ascertain their views of electric compact shelving for books and scores in the Music Library of Sound Recordings Archives of BGSU Libraries. The survey identified: apprehension concerning the use of the installation; the adequacy of instructions for use; the level of inconvenience / delay in accessing material; overall satisfaction; and the positive and negative features of the installation

Abstract

Reports results of a study to determine the need for an alternative classification scheme for children, whether elementary school children have the ability to use such a classification system and the extent to which the use of colours and symbols as search aids may facilitate their search efforts. Findings of the study indicated that children do have the ability to use a system which is designed in keeping with their developmental level and that the use of colours and symbols as supplementary search aids can be successful
