172 The University of California Libraries out that the actual selection decisions, under this alternative, are reversible; unlike weeding, if errors in predicting future usage are made, the error can be rectified simply by moving the items in question back to the campus libraries. It is of course assumed that campuses will select for compact shelving only materials that can be retrieved effectively through the computerized location systems discussed in earlier chapters. It also assumed that appropriate members of the faculty will participate in making the selection decisions. As Fussler and Simon themselves comment, "there is little question that the overall effectiveness of any formula for selecting books for storage would be improved considerably if one or more scholars reviewed the titles recommended for storage." 10 The calculations that follow, as with the weeding alternative, also assume that only when there is no space in existing campus facilities would material be moved into compact shelving. The number of volumes involved is therefore the same as in the Table 31, i.e., 5,758,000 volumes by 1987/88. For the purposes of the model, it is also assumed that all non-book materials will be stored in existing facilities, and that only monographs and bound volumes of serials will be placed in compact shelving. In actuality, some non-book materials would undoubtedly be moved to compact shelving instead of some bound volumes, but this would not affect the calculations significantly. Methods of Compact Shelving. For the actual shelving of these materials, there are many alternatives, and the research team examined a wide range of methods. The systems considered the most attractive, in terms of economy and proven reliability, are compared with conventional shelving techniques on Table 32. Those numbered 2, 3, and 4 are mechanical systems that reduce the amount of space needed and the unit cost of shelving per volume, even though a significant investment in equipment is required. As indicated, the most economical system of this type appears to be one manufactured by Hallowell. 10 Fussler and Simon, p. 144.
