Abstract

Whether it is to free up room for study space or new collections, or for the safety and preservation of library materials, librarians and other professionals have engaged in mass ingestion projects to relocate barcoded items to high density storage facilities. Yet logistics and workflow receive little mention in the literature. The workflow established by staff at the Zhang Legacy Collections Center of Western Michigan University in 2019 allowed it to move 25,000 books from the main library stacks. The efficiencies offered by this workflow allowed staff to manage the disconnect between limited equipment and staffing and the demands of a large-scale project using the software program CAIA (Circulation, Accession & Inventory Analysis).

摘要

无论是为学习空间或新馆藏腾出空间，还是为了图书馆资料的安全和保存，图书馆员和其他专业人员都参与了大规模摄取项目，将条形码项目重新安置到高密度存储设施。然而，物流和工作流程在文献中很少提及。2019 年，西密歇根大学张氏遗产馆藏中心的工作人员建立了工作流程，使其能够从主图书馆书库中转移 25,000 本书。此工作流提供的效率使工作人员能够使用软件程序 CAIA（流通、加入和库存分析）管理有限设备和人员配置与大型项目需求之间的脱节。
