| Abstract: | To develop its long-range strategic plan for future accommodation, the National Library of Canada conducted a comprehensive collections survey to estimate the current occupancy of space and to provide a basis on which to project future space requirements. The survey was a major effort involving extensive planning and detailed implementation. In recognition of the many different collections, 95 format groups were identified and mapped onto 147,000 shelves and cabinet drawers. We report the number of items stored per linear foot (density) for many different collections. These are used to convert forecasted number of items in each format group to estimate the linear space requirements, and after considering a number of factors, these are translated into floor space requirements. |
