Periodicals group

The logistics have been made more ‘lean’ in the past year. Whereas the Periodicals Administration used to deliver the material (issues of periodicals but primarily volumes from monographic series) once a week, this now happens on a daily basis. This generates a better and faster flow of material.

The group has spent a significant amount of time on the relocation process alongside their regular activities. Since August in particular, when the libraries of FEB, FRW and FWN were merged, the relocation has taken up most of the capacity. Karla Westra and Erik Eefting spent their days at the Bernouilliborg between September and November, where they first prepared the monographs and then the periodicals for relocation to the UB stacks. Although the deadline for the monographs was met, this was not the case for the periodicals; that job has been rounded off in the meantime, however.

In November, preparations for the relocation of the Arts Library in 2013 began.
