The UCSB Map & Imagery Lab has cases 3 high, and is
located on the ground floor of the library; the person
in charge of facilities - when I asked him whether
they should be bolted down, he said no, that they
"weren't going anywhere." This is  on the
basis of this library surviving nicely a 5.something
earthquake about ten years ago, with no sliding.
The drawers in the map cases at Stanford (which
are on the 2nd floor) definitely went somewhere.
But SOP in the UC system is that anything taller than
42" (except human beings) needs to be security-
braced.
