Abstract The concept of moving a university’s historic, 2.9 million item government documents collection offsite was daunting. The actual move of the collection took 24 months. In this move, much was learned about developing a project management plan, including consult the literature early, anticipate confusion points within the collection, discuss wear-and-tear issues, and understand the effect the move would have on service. The final move required 31 working days over five months of shifting. Afterward, it was found that the repercussions of a move – especially on staff and reference work – can often be more jarring than the move itself.

利维坦：如何将 290 万份政府文件移出异地

摘要 将一所大学历史悠久的 290 万份政府文件收藏移出异地的概念令人生畏。藏品的实际搬迁历时 24 个月。在这一举措中，我们学到了很多关于制定项目管理计划的知识，包括及早查阅文献、预测馆藏中的混淆点、讨论磨损问题以及了解这一举措对服务的影响。最后一步需要 31 个工作日，超过五个月的轮班时间。后来，人们发现搬家的影响——尤其是对员工和参考工作的影响——往往比搬家本身更不和谐。
