University of British Columbia (UBC) Library Book Retrieval System
stodmyk
The brand spankin' new ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System), which allows millions of extra books to be stored in half the space of a traditional library.
Welcome to the future: with the ASRS, we lose the ability to browse - that magic of finding something while looking for something else is now gone - but if we know what we're looking for, we're more likely to find that it's available on campus.
