"Library and archives services: collection reconfiguration, storage and retrieval " is an expansion of an existing service used by UEA Library for its ongoing Library collections reconfiguration project. The service is essential as it provides bespoke services that enable the Library to "right size" its physical collections and maximize the space available for study over a planned project timescale. Lot 1: "Library and archive services" covers bespoke academic library collections cataloguing, classification, moving, storage, retrieval, scanning, archiving and disposal service and is the existing service used by UEA Library for its ongoing Library collections project.
