I attended the AISLE conference last weekend (which was fantastic by the way!) and had the pleasure of hearing Fred Schlipf and Ann Ohms who work at the University of Illinois share their thoughts on library design.

I would encourage you to connect with Fred, as he had much to say about the best types of shelving during our session together.

Hello!

I am looking at replacing the original shelving in my middle school library.  The proposed design includes metal shelving on the perimeter of the room.  Does anyone have experience with both wood and metal shelving, and can speak to the difference in noise level?  My students visit the library as a  whole class, so we often have 25 students at a time browsing for books.  Has anyone switched from wood to metal shelving and noticed a considerable difference in noise?

Thanks for your help!
