-
- Since we're a Health Sciences Library and use the NLM call numbering scheme, ou
- stacks are journals, which works out nicely for our building arrangement).
-
- I have never worked with another arrangement, so cannot compare, but I think
- it works out very well for us. When we need to do stacks shifts -- much more
- often for bound journals than for monographs -- it makes it much easier to
- implement.
-
- The problems we do encounter are those serials which patrons think of as
- journals but which we classify with a monographic call number. But after a
- little experience here, they get good at figuring most of them out.
