Knight Library shifts, general info
The major shifts of the Knight Library during the expansion and renovation project were performed by library staff. New shelving that was added to the building was erected by non-library staff. Shelving which was already in place but needed to be moved a few yards, and all shelving used for temporary locations (such as shelving erected in study space), was moved by library staff. Furniture (desks, service desks, file cabinets, etc.) was moved by a moving company. Personal work items and office collections were moved by library staff.
The majority of the collection was moved twice. Smaller collections (Documents and microforms are the only ones I can think of) moved from their old location directly into their permanent locations. Some collections moved three times, and some four (into and out of temporary shelving locations).
Several smaller collections were absorbed into the shift from storage locations (both in the existing building and locations elsewhere on campus).
As the final shift of the LC general collection, Deweys, East Asian, Juvenile/Curriculum collections was being done, retrospective conversion of the Deweys was underway. The 800's and 900's were absorbed into the final shift as LC's.
Following are parts and pieces of charts and lists from our major shifts. Each shift had a great deal more paperwork supporting it; these are just samples.
