> Like many of you I'm sure, we in the periodicals department of James
> White Library, at Andrews University, MI are facing severe space
> problems. Our compacted shelving project has been put on hold and we are
> now facing the task of boxing up many of our older periodical titles,
> where we have online coverage, and moving them to offsite storage. (Our
> faculty are not ready to discard print entirely at this stage.)
>
> If any of you have already done something similar, can any of you offer
> any words of advice as we embark on this project?  Labelling? boxing?
> storage tips?
> All contributions would be appreciated.
