  We are planning for a new geology library and would like to hear
comments about using hanging files, like those made by Spacesaver,
for U.S.G.S. series.  We currently file these envelopes in 13 file
cabinets and hope that we could save limited floor space by using
hanging files.  Are there storage or retrieval problems we should
consider?  Comments from librarians familiar with these type of
compact storage would be very helpful at this stage of our planning.
Thanks!
