Library Installs Robotic Book Storage SystemThe Raw Feed

December 26th, 2007 | Category: Tech Talk

The University of Utah’s biggest library, called Marriott Library, has installed a $12 million ROBOTIC STORAGE SYSTEM. Instead of storing books on shelves accessible to humans, the system puts them in bins that are

stacked 3 1/2 stories high. The benefit is that it enables the library to expand their collections without the construction costs of an entirely new building. The system holds 2 million books.
