From VHorton at clicweb.org Mon Feb 1 12:45:06 2010 From: VHorton at clicweb.org (Valerie Horton) Date: Mon Feb 1 12:45:09 2010 Subject: [Moving Mountains] New Blog Postings - worth reading Message-ID: I've just posted two new blog entries that I thought were worth pointing out the wider community. http://movingmountainsproject.wordpress.com/ First, Greg Pronevitz notes on the ALA ICAN Discussion Group has lots of great information about Massachusetts' plan for a central automated sorting hub. The second blog is about David Massie's (OCLC) amazing PowerPoint on how to reduce the environmental impact on ILL and Delivery. He has amazing data and very helpful recommendations. Check out the blog to learn more. Valerie Valerie Horton, Executive Director Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC) 7400 E.

The metal swivels over the narrow ends and snaps into place to form a platform on which you can set another bin. The metal strap is round and is the diameter of a pen. It leaves the top of the bin open, but creates a stable platform for stacking. When empty the metal swings back over the end to allow easy stacking. Buckhorn has sold them over the years as a baled nesting bin. Our drivers love them because there are no lids to get in the way. Our libraries love them because the bale prevents overloading and protects the materials in the bin when stacked.

Overall it is probably our best option. However, the drivers are reporting that the bin is a little more fragile and cracks more easily when cold. If it cracks in Marin cold weather I'd hate to think about performance in a snowy climate. It may be that we will have no choice but to move to this style. If we do we will need to replace all 200+ bins on one circuit as the two styles don't stack well together.
