I’m currently on a committee to help in the reorganization of our periodicals floor.  Unfortunately, we will lose space rather than gain space (no surprises there).  We will lose an area that houses our current journals as well as a couple of ranges for our bound journals.  The periodicals will remain on the same floor.  As far as I know, placing a some of the bound journals in the basement isn’t a consideration.  The challenging part for the committee is to figure out how to work with the same amount of journals with less room.  I know a majority of you have been through the same situation in you libraries.  I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experiences with me.  I hope to get some great ideas that will help our library accomplish this challenging feat.

Thank you,
Barbara
