Mission Statement:
The Stacks Team serves the Emory community
by providing an accessible and well-maintained print
collection.
What We Do:
The ultimate goal of the Stacks
Team is to have all the books on the shelves, neatly
in their proper places. We strive to meet a 24-hour
turnaround time, meaning that any book returned to the
library will be back in the stacks in its proper place
within 24 hours.
We accomplish this by following
a precise, yet flexible, workflow pattern. We check
the entire building for books left lying on tables and
in carrels, and work with the Circulation department
to get books quickly discharged and ready to send to
the stacks. The materials are sorted according to the
floor they're shelved on, then taken to their respective
floor and ordered onto carts. From the carts, the books
are shelved and the cycle begins anew.
To ensure that the materials
remain neat and in order, the Stacks Team strives to
shelfread the entire Stacks tower collection twice a
year. Shelfreading involves checking the books one-by-one
for proper call number order and straightening the shelves
as we go. We also keep a close eye on the space available
in each section and shift the books to make room in
fast-growing sections.
