Subject: RE: Moving a map libraryI am doing this right now. We're going to move about 120 cabinets.You must remove drawers before trying to move because you will damage the cabinets if you don't. They are too heavy when full and the cabinet design does not support any movement.I can provide more on Monday. I am off to enjoy not moving today.

Colleagues, I would appreciate advice on moving a map library.
We have about ~200 drawers in ~40 cabinets.
Do the drawers need to be emptied, and the drawers moved separate from the cases?
If so, I am in need of advice on how to move the maps.
I have some ideas, although tips from people who have done this will help. Thanks!
