Dawn,
In the map room the cases can be stacked no more than 2 high due to
weigh restrictions on the floor. In the sub-basement they are stacked 4
high and we have a ladder with a hand rail.

Angie, Jim, Paige, All...
The bottom drawer is the problem? May I suggest a little yoga to limber
up? To me, the top drawers are the problem even though I am tall -- that
is, if you have a pile to carry and no one to help. I actually fell off
the old ladder in the map library this summer twisted my knee and lost
my toenail (I was wearing sandals). I am still recovering, and despite
calls from the campus safety department, the library has still not
replaced the ladder. The workman's comp doctor they sent me to (I could
not go to my own doctor I was surprised to find out) said they are
"crazy" not to have replaced the ladder yet. It does not meet minimum
safety standards in that ladders should have a handle you can hold as
you climb and descend. Also, our drawers are stacked 5 sets of 5 drawers
high, while I believe most are stacked 4 sets of 5 drawers high. It
might be interesting to take an informal poll:
How many drawers high do you stack your map cases? Do you have to use a
ladder to reach the higher ones? If so, does your ladder have a hand rail?
I hope others can benefit from my experience. I have been doing this
for 10 years without a problem and then... Don't think it can't happen
to you. Be careful up there! Dawn
