| Abstract | "Library Storage Facilities highlights best practice and lessons learned from planning, designing, constructing, and implementing a storage facility, analyzing a principle partnership between the Texas A & M University System and the University of Texas System. The book discusses efficient storage strategies, geometric efficiency, systems integration, environmental control, envelope tightness, and specialized equipment to create a highly efficient, expandable building. This book emphasizes significant aspects of shared ownership, including the use of a resource-in-common model and single-service-copy-only model, and provides insight into the work environments, which shape a facility where staff are comfortable and motivated to succeed."--Back cover |
