7th Kuopio Conference 2022: Review and Renew - Changing Strategies in Collection Management Präsentation im Rahmen einer am Donnerstag, dem 8. September 2022 in der Sky Lounge der Fakultät für Mathematik, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Wien Session 4. Andy Appleyard: Efficient and Sustainable Print Storage - Back to the Future Video vom Vortrag: https://phaidra.univie.ac.at/o:1626170 Abstract: The challenge of ever-increasing print collections is one that has confounded libraries over many years. When the UK National Lending Library was established in the 1960s, it adopted non-library processes and routines more often seen in industrial applications reflecting ‘users’ accessed the collection remotely and via a catalogue. In 2011, the British Library (BL) built on this original idea when developing a new storage facility. The ‘Automated Storage Building’ (ASB) employed the use of load handling (robotic) cranes to retrieve collections within containers for subsequent access at a workstation. Some of the key features included high-density storage to minimise the cost per cubic metre, reduced oxygen to provide fire suppression and automated retrieval for efficient and safe access. The above approach has subsequently gained traction around the world; indeed the BL built a second, similar repository in 2015 to store its large and valuable Newspaper collection. Now the BL is looking to build a third building, but with new technological innovations, including passive environment to limit the energy cost: light, renewable materials for the main structure minimising the carbon footprint, designed with extremely high level of ‘air tightness’ to maintain the environment, supplementing the plan with the deployment of renewable energy provision to create a zero carbon site campus. The presentation will provide an insight into this exciting programme. Andy Appleyard is Head of Operations (North) at the British Library (BL) with the responsibility for the following services - Document Delivery and ILL, Reading Room delivery, Digitization Services, Licensing Partnerships, Customer Services, the Public Lending Right (PLR) and the UK Research Reserve (UKRR). |
