Published over a decade ago, the first edition of Moving Library Collections was hailed as invaluable and long overdue by, among others, Booklist, Library Talk, and College and Research Libraries. Now, this must-have resource returns in a fully updated new edition, to help today's librarians think through the issues, explore the options, and avoid the pitfalls of orchestrating a library move. Again based on data from over 100 library moves, Moving Library Collections: A Management Handbook, Second Edition is written from the perspective of today's library, with added guidance for dealing with larger holdings of electronic resources, as well as space limitations in storage and on the shelves. There is also updated coverage of average book widths, using project management software, and moving archival materials, as well as special guidelines for small libraries.

Moving a library is a mammoth task that requires precise, long-range planning. This book is a comprehensive guide to making that move a smooth one. Filled with practical advice culled from reports on more than a hundred moves, it addresses the needs of libraries planning to use a moving company or moving themselves. Habich gives the library move planner the analytical tools and knowledge of procedures nececessary for carrying out the move effectively and efficiently. In five informative sections Habich discusses: •how to assess the size of your library's current collections, project the space needed for collection growth, and develop a collection layout plan. •the pros and cons of using a moving company, staff, and volunteer resources, and concerns common to all moves. •how to select and work effectively with a moving company. •planning and managing operations for libraries moving without a moving company and covers move logistics, using classical operations management techniques, the planning calendar, and practical move management issues: recruiting workers, the pros and cons of various move methods, facilities issues, service, health and safety, and public relations issues. •special problems in contributed chapers on pest management and control and on cleaning collections, and a chapter on moving from disorganized conditions.
