    Dons et échanges de collections: Recommandations aux Bibliothèques
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2010-07) Cassell, Kay Ann; Johnson, Sharon; Mansfield, Judith; Zhang, Sha Li; Kochkina, Svetlana; Swiatek, Cécile
    Les dons représentent un élément important des activités des bibliothèques en matière de développement de collection. Ces Recommandations se concentrent exclusivement sur les dons entrés dans les collections de bibliothèques de façon proactive ou passive. Il est recommandé que la bibliothèque mette en place des procédures clairement définies pour traiter et évaluer les offres de dons en accord avec sa politique en la matière. Ceci clarifiera l’opération aussi bien pour le personnel de la bibliothèque que pour les donateurs, réduira l'exposition aux risques et responsabilités éventuelles, et assurera à la bibliothèque la possibilité d’exploiter à l’avenir les dons reçus pour d’autres opérations.

    Sustainable Storage at McGill's Collections Centre
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-10-08) Hafner, Joseph; Hanz, Katherine; Kochkina, Svetlana
    Sustainability was uppermost on our minds when we considered options for an off-site Collections Centre. LEED Certification: McGill University is committed to LEED certifying all our new buildings, so this facility was designed to meet this goal. This means features including low maintenance exterior grounds, electric car charging stations, choosing the right building materials and more. High density: The AutoStore robotic system is high density storage that reduces the footprint our warehouse building by up to 75%. No aisles are needed for humans to walk through as robots run on the top of a grid to retrieve bins. Energy efficient robots: The electric robots used are run on regenerative batteries that means the amount of electricity needed to run the 6 robots for a 24-hour shift is less than what is needed to run a small appliance for 30 minutes. Choosing a moving company: When planning for our move of 2.5M materials in our collections from our downtown campus, we have included sustainability goals for the movers. Efficient delivery: We will offer options to digitize and send electronic versions of requested articles, chapters, and books to our users, so that we don't have to physically transport everything to our libraries.
