Fortriede received a BS in education from Ball State University and an MLS from Western Michigan University in 1971. A year later he was assigned, rather abruptly, to move his first library. Since that time he has directed, or consulted for, more than twenty moves for libraries ranging from a few thousand to nearly four million items. He has also been responsible for many space planning and library design projects.  \nWhile extensive effort has gone into ensuring the reliability of information appearing in this book, the publisher makes no warranty, express or implied, on the accuracy or reliability of the information and does not assume and hereby disclaims any liability to any person for any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions in this publication.  \nThe paper used in this publication meets the minimum requirements of American National Standard for Information Sciences—Permanence of Paper for Printed Library Materials, ANSI Z39 .48-1992.   \nLibrary of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data  \nFortriede, Steven Carl.  \nMoving your library : getting the collection from here to there / Steven Carl Fortriede.  \n[p. cm](p. cm).  \nIncludes bibliographical references and index.  \nISBN 978-0-8389-0994-2 (alk. paper)  \n1.

Detailed instructions for each method are included in later chapters. Here I provide a general overview to help you make your initial decisions.  \nAt various times I have used five different methods to move library materials: stack movers, human chains, boxes, book carts, and move carts. The first two have specific, limited uses.  \nstaCk Movers  \nStack movers can be used to move an entire range of stack, without removing the books. Each mover consists of a vertical arm with a clamp at the top and wheels on the bottom. A stack mover clamps to each upright. A jack on each mover lifts the entire range just enough to clear the floor. The range can be moved, carefully, and jacked back down to allow the stack movers to be reused on another range.
