Dear Colleagues
We are currently putting together a brief for a new library/research unit for the National Gallery of Ireland. We are looking at the possibility of putting compact shelving in our public reading room. I know these have obvious advantages in terms of space but I have some concerns about how our users would deal with rolling shelves. I would be very interested in hearing from any of you that have experience using compact shelving in your reading rooms and how it has worked out for you.
Please reply off list
Regards
Andrea Lydon
