Libraries–Technology
A Library and a Robotic Arm
From the article, “Browsing through the shelves is one of the great joys of visiting the library. But when the shelves get too tall and threaten to take away precious study space, books are relegated to warehouses, sold, given away, or worse — retired to the circular file…When Sonoma State University opened its new library — the Jean & Charles Schulz Information Center — last fall, it solved that problem with a system of metal storage boxes and a fast-moving computerized crane that make up the Automated Retrieval System.”
