Hello all,

We are planning to move materials into a remote storage facility.  Some of
the items will come from our general collection and some from need a
temporary storage area. the following is a steam of consciousness list of
questions we are asking ourselves.....

For now we are supposed to come up with strategy for journals.  Would we
have a cut off date to guide us (e.g. anything published up to a certain
date goes into storage?)   Are there titles we have in print that are now in
electronic form which we are comfortable discarding in print? (e.g. village
voice, futurist?)  Is there a project we can organize that looks at each
individual title.  How would we gather the info we need?  Assign titles to
individual staff to work on?

Ultimately, we might need to provide the storage planners with numbers of
volumes / linear feet so they can plan the shelving arrangements.

We are planning to discard out print indexes, although I am aware that they
could function as a back-up if/when the computer goes down,
 Has anyone else worked on a project similar to this and if so, is there
something we haven't thought of?

suggestions are very welcomed!!


Thanks,

Liv
p.s. only 10 more work days left til christmas holidays!
