[LM_NET] TARGET: Consolidating two libraries

[MARGARET ALEXANDER <MALEXAND@GMCS.ORG>]

Hello everyone,

We just learned here that one of our two elementary schools will be
closing next year, and the students, teachers, and library materials
will be moved to the other school. I'm looking at the task of
consolidating two libraries that have been run independently up until
now. Most likely, we will be moving the one library into the other by
the middle of June.

I've been reading postings in the archives concerning moving a library,
so I've got plenty of ideas about how to make the physical move. My
questions are for anyone who has moved a "new" library into an existing
library. What should I know before I start? Obviously, I've got to
consider the issue of physical space, but do you have any other
suggestions for me?

Both libraries were extensively weeded in the last two years, so we are
in pretty good shape that way. I imagine we'll find more to weed as we
go along. 

I'll post a hit of your responses.

Thanks,

Peg
