Oregon Institute of Technology is reviewing our current shelving
arrangement, which is alphabetically by title. My supervisor would like to
change our current shelving system; she would prefer the periodicals (Bound
and current issues) shelved by LC Call Number rather than title.

I would like to know if any of your libraries have re-shelved periodicals
from title to classification number and what impact that change had on
staffing requirements. I would also appreciated any information form
libraries that shelve by call number on the advantages or disadvantages of
shelving that way.

Any comments, advise would be greatly appreciated.

Please send any responses to me: linh@oit.edu

Thank you.
