B303 – Robots in the Library: Automated Storage & Retrieval SystemsWednesday, April 9, 2014 1:30 PM – 2:15 PM Lowell Walters,
Associate Dean of Library Technologies & Collection Services, Liberty University Tom Fesmire,
Head, Cataloging & Metadata Services, Liberty University Gregory A. Smith,
Associate Dean, Library Technologies & Collection Services, Liberty University While ASRS (automated storage and retrieval system) installations in libraries are not new, Liberty University’s was distinctive on several fronts: The ASRS vendor had no previous experience in libraries; the library aggressively chose to store some 70% of its main library collection in the ASRS; bins with books were preloaded as construction progressed, allowing for rapid ingestion into the ASRS and subsequent launch of regular retrieval; and the ASRS is a technological showpiece of the new library building. The speakers look at the planning, collection analysis, software development, loading and ingestion, and ILS management.
