The AS/RS continues to provide efficient space management for the library. However, added value has been identified in materials security and inventory as well as customer service. The concept of library as space, paired with improved services and efficiencies, has resulted in the AS/RS becoming a critical component of library operations and future strategy. Staffing, service, and security opportunities paired with support and maintenance challenges, enable the library to provide a unique critique and assessment of an AS/RS.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Information Technology and Libraries}, author={Kovalcik, Justin and Villalobos, Mike}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={114–124} }
