Dear Judith
I'm always curious about storage options but I notice there hasn't been
any response to your questions (at least not on the list). I wonder if
that's because, like myself, others are having trouble actually
picturing your equipment. As it doesn't sound like anything I've seen,
is there any chance of posting an image of it somewhere so we can have a
look?
Thanks
April

Hello,
We have two boxes for oversize maps. They each have fifty slots,
arranged
in five rows of ten, with the rows graduating in height from the front
to
the back. We've just had a volunteer inventory the oversize maps and do
repair on the frequently used titles. In the course of this project, we
discovered that there isn't a consensus of how to order the rows.
Does one start from the front and move toward the back or from the back
and
move toward the front. This appears to be causing so many problems
between patrons seeking maps and students reshelving them that I'm
wondering if we shouldn't just fold the oversize maps and keep them
in our map cases. Note that we also have the issue of two
sequences--SuDoc call numbers and Library of Congress call numbers.
Many thanks for any suggestions.
Sincerely,
jrj
