LSB-SSS: Support Staff Series
LSB-SS001Shelving and paging library material- 01
Shelving is vital to Libraries, and yet shelfers often receive little in the way of recognition from the upper ranks of management, we all know that if the army of people who sort or put away materials did not come in and do their jobs, the effect would be felt immediately throughout the library. In spite of their importance, it is not unusual to hear shelving staff referred to as a vaguely troublesome bunch whose main claim to fame is their high rate of turnover. We will all benefit if more attention is paid to the way these essential workers are selected and trained.
This module is based on the inside story of putting organization in the library material. Putting those basements and stacks in order, under control and accessible will make finding a needle in the hay stack a zap with training a non library staff to make the library work easier and faster. What will an online catalog do if the book placement does not translate the location on the shelf?
