[LM_NET] TARGET: Big Books---Shelving, Hanging, or What?

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

Hello, Guys and Dolls!

I'm re-organizing some things in our Curriculum Materials Library and
I have discovered that I REALLY hate those hanging plastic bags that
are used for the Big Books!  We have two stands filled with big book
bags and they really look...well, not great.  I'd love to be able to
actually file these in a bookshelf of some type--- and I actually
found one that I think might work--- but before I invested in the
whole change-over of approximately 150 Big Books in our library, I
wanted to ask you:

What type of shelving, hanging, or other organizational structure are
you using for your Big Books?  I realize that our collection is
probably larger than most school libraries...but when you have dig
through 100 bags hanging in "somewhat alphabetical order" it really
becomes annoying.  I'd love some new ideas.

I can share if others are interested---- and I'll post my possible
choice for a big book shelf that I found online---hopefully, by the
weekend!

Thanks!

~Shonda
