Moving the collections of an academic health sciences library. 1982

L L Brogan, and C E Lipscomb

Expansion of the physical facilities of the Health Sciences Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill necessitated relocating the entire journal and book collections within the library. This paper discusses the problems involved in planning such a move, the gathering and analysis of relevant data, the formulation of an overall plan based on the data analysis, and the actual move. The use of specially-written computer programs greatly aided in the move's planning and execution and also yielded quantitative data describing the characteristics of an academic health sciences collection.
