>Dear Colleagues -- as a result of a recent "book return" redesign, our
>library has been experiencing an increased number of damaged books,
>especially the large, heavy art books. When books are returned, they drop
>down a book slot onto a conveyer belt -- which turns and descends to a
>lower level where they are discharged. During this journey the books drop
>several more times before they land in a padded bin. Do any of you know
>about any "best practices" or have a system that works well in your
>library? I would be happy to post results to the list if there is enough
>interest.
