The librarian estimated imposed fill ratios based on collection segments which were then mapped onto a floor plan to efficiently shift materials. The estimated imposed fill ratio allowed for the consideration of variables that are often overlooked when using a strictly mathematical approach to calculate a fill ratio. Strategies to improve browsability of shifted collections such as call number range breaks on shelves and front-facing covers were key factors included in the project. |
