/* Shelving */ update
==Shelving==
Items are then shelved in order, with oversize items placed on the top shelf and damaged items on the bottom. Duplicates are shelved separately.
This process is greatly aided by use of a smartphone, tablet, or portable computer, as this permits the location to be immediately updated to "“Stacks", ” and may assist with shelving order.
It may also be discovered at this point that some items need to be reclassified as Oversize, which can also be done at this time.
Given that the collection already exceeds the shelving available (and this with only about 1/4 of the collection cataloged), surplus material must be moved back to storage.
 
As each classification grows large enough, books are moved by size into archival storage boxes, and the item record changed to location “Storage” and the box number listed in the appropriate field. These are placed on the shelving in such a way that one classification is not placed in front of another.
