This week we have been talking about how we plan and implement shelf shifting projects in the library. These projects aim to improve access to library materials as well as make more space for future additions. Our Wisconsin (KFW) collection is currently being shifted and will be completed in late December or early January. The KFW project comes on the heels of a shift at the tail end of the Library of Congress call number range.
This section used to be a very compressed area with little room to grow. The above image shows this section now with many more empty shelves surrounding it. This section includes library literature, medical reference materials, international law, and legal wit and humor.
