Library Relocations and Collection Shifts

In Library Relocations & Collection Shifts, author, librarian, and move director Dennis C. Tucker explains how to develop an appropriate moving plan for a library of any type or size. A thorough revision of his classic, From Here to There: Moving a Library, the book provides coverage of all these topics and more: appointing a move director and committee; moving methods and strategies; customizing a moving plan for your library; planning and coordinating the move; handling books and periodicals; cleaning, fumigation, and deacidification; working with professional movers; and communicating with staff and the public. You'll also find information on using spreadsheets to shift periodical collections, a sample moving contract, a directory of useful resources, and suggestions for further reading. If your library is planning to move all or part of its collection, whether into a new facility or within the present one, Library Relocations and Collection Shifts is guaranteed to save time and reduce frustration.
