[LM_NET] Automated Library Retrieval System

[Cathy Rettberg <crettberg@MENLOSCHOOL.ORG>]

Hi - I just heard last night that San Francisco State Univ is  
rebuilding their library and will include an automated book retrieval  
system instead of having stacks (or maybe it will be part stacks, part  
RFID bins). Has anyone heard of a system like this - are other  
university libraries going this route? It was cause for animated  
conversation during last night's evening walk! Here's a link to the  
site, though it only mentions the system without saying anything about  
it:
