Abstract
Whether it is to free up room for study space or new collections, or for the safety and preservation of library materials, librarians and other professionals have engaged in mass ingestion projects to relocate barcoded items to high density storage facilities. Yet logistics and workflow receive little mention in the literature. The workflow established by staff at the Zhang Legacy Collections Center of Western Michigan University in 2019 allowed it to move 25,000 books from the main library stacks. The efficiencies offered by this workflow allowed staff to manage the disconnect between limited equipment and staffing and the demands of a large-scale project using the software program CAIA (Circulation, Accession & Inventory Analysis).
