Solutions for Libraries & Museums

Challenge

The traditional definition of a library as a collection of books, or a building to house a collection of books has become obsolete. Today's academic, public, special, and research libraries are multifunctional learning centers and Internet gateways that provide a multitude of educational and cultural resources for the communities they serve. As the demand for increased and improved services grows, so grows the need to designate space for them and the patrons they attract.

Solution

We recognize that to preserve and protect the variety of media that libraries house, and to ensure safe, convenient user access to the media collections, a specialized storage strategy must be developed. That is why the flexibility to accommodate virtually any type of filing system, cabinet or rack, and the development of numerous product innovations designed to provide user safety and enhance collection preservation, have made Systematics the leading provider of library shelving and library display systems in the following Library/Education segments:

• Academic Libraries
• Athletic Storage
• K-12 Library Storage
• Media Centers
• Public Libraries
• Corporate Libraries
• Residential Libraries

Museums Challenge

"We are rapidly running out of useable internal museum storage floor space within the museum environment."  Acquiring additional land obviously can offer a solution to the space "squeeze."  Few museums can move to the suburbs or split their facilities like industry does.  And even if adjoining land can be acquired at the existing site, usually in a congested urban area, the acquisition of land is difficult…and sometimes impossible.  Added to these problems is the surging impact of larger and larger collections to be stored and displayed as well as the constant need for more laboratory, research and classroom space.  Hence, space for public viewing, the "tip" remains limited.

Museums Solution

Systematics will work with you to conserve all the millions of floor space footage currently used by vacant non-productive rows and rows of aisles...aisles needed for access to materials stored on conventional fixed-in-place storage shelving.  This conservation of space has been made possible with the development of high-density mobile storage systems.  Museum storage cabinets, cases, art racks, etc., will provide the total solution, with total customization.
