i work at a library. please put the books in the spot labeled book return. it may not seem like it but because there are so few people working there just a few people in the library can keep us so busy we will miss the books you put down. also, check if your library has an ebook/audiobook thing like Libby. the wait times can be long but it's still pretty cool if you're into those.

Out of curiosity do you have a routine to periodically (annually, quarterly, I don't know) to re-arrange books put back in the wrong place?

I know they do it in warehouses to verify like "system says we have 500 of x but we have 495. System says we have 1100 of y but we have 1132" and they correct all the counts annually.

My (academic) library does. We send out a student worker with a laptop on a book cart to scan all the books on a shelf, then the next shelf, etc. The system flags if anything is missing or out of order, so the student can fix the order right then.

When I worked in a public library, every librarian adopted a section of shelves and, when it was quiet, went and made sure it was in proper order.

That's actually really cool...

Warehouse ops manager here, we call our process scheduled counts & invoice counts.

We have about 25,000 locations for parts. We count a few sections each day for our scheduled counts, and we count the entire place 3 times a year by doing it.

That helps us find and address things that may be misplaced lost or just wrong but that haven't been an issue for about 4 months.

Alternately we have a process that we used to count every location we picked parts from the day before.

The combination, when done correctly and not just fucking the dog, definately keeps you good.

I'm sad we no longer do the daily counts as it makes bigger problems than being able to check on incorrect orders within a day or 2 and not months later when no body can remember anything.

I might actually like working in a library now that I think about it

[–] vrek@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, my previous employer had shutdowns on the week of July 4th and Christmas so the production operators on contract(aka not paid for holidays) could volunteer to help in the counts.

I was curious if libraries have a similar system...

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I'm also curious now

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I worked part time at my college library for a bit and one of my jobs was called "shelf reading", where I'd just walk up and down the rows making sure the book numbers were in the right order. It was pretty tedious.

I can definitely see a preference for resolving over this

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I started using Libby during pandemic and for a while I was reading more than I have in years! But the wait times got me. As I read more of the easy choices, my typical wait time got longer and longer until I lost interest again
