- A Case Study: Shifting within a Curriculum Materials Center Caitlin Stewart Academic Libraries Library Development Library Facilities Library Materials Librarians Library Administration Space Utilization Space Classification Elementary Secondary Education Instructional Materials Childrens Literature Adolescent Literature Strategic Planning Relocation Facility Planning Mathematical Concepts This case study explores the strategies used to redistribute materials among available shelves in a curriculum materials center after deaccessioning and relocation projects. 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.
