I know you think you\u2019re being helpful by reshelving, but even if you pull something out to read a couple paragraphs just stick it in the basket for things you didn\u2019t want. I don\u2019t care if you know EXACTLY where you are. In academic libraries (at least in Texas) our funding was determined by how many books people looked at. So we got additional funding based on books not being reshelved. If there\u2019s a designated shelf\/basket for things you don\u2019t want, stick things in it!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What <a href=\"http:\/\/tmblr.co\/mR1EefVKc7od06cL9FwVqSQ\" target=\"_blank\">@standbyyourmantis<\/a> said about not reshelving is true for public libraries, too. Our funding is dictated largely by how\u00a0\u2018used\u2019 we are, so we scan all the items that are laying about as In House Use. That, tied with Reference Count and Door Counter numbers (we have to manually put in the time we take for references) to prove we\u2019re providing a needed service.<br \/>We also have to count the number of people who come for our programs, which not only helps funding but shows that the programming\/services are needed, as well.<br \/>So, basically, if you want to feel like you\u2019re making sure we\u2019re getting paid and staying around, keep these in mind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I didn\u2019t know that\u2019s why you\u2019re not supposed to reshelf!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Reblogging for the reshelving information.
