Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's what I thought too. It would have fit better in the Zs though, space wise.
My DH, who is organizer of the records and CDs, leaves a little space at the end of quite a few shelves in order to make it easier to shift everything to insert new acquisitions.
Oh, so do I. I doubt you'd meet many librarians who don't.

We're not librarians (though DH's mom is) but we're pretty geeky about the shelving, too. When we met, we discovered that we used the same shelving system for our vinyl. And we had 400 doubles. When we combined the record collections, it took Dave 6 hours to shelve them. (I suspect much if this time was probably spent re-reading liner notes and album credits. I was at work.)
We just had to box all of the CDs and then reshelve them because we had our floors replaced. What a chore!
Anyone know of a way to clean silver in the absence of silver polish?
Toothpaste. Not the gel kind (though that may work, I've just not tried it.)

Heh. This is my household EXACTLY.
We're actually starting to look around for new DVD shelves because our current ones are both full. This means we own over 500 DVDs. Eep!
I doubt you'd meet many librarians who don't.
And do you move all of the books to the front of the shelf and not pushed into the back?

Uh...
Actually, I have no systems for anything. Books, DVDs, CDs, paper, electronic files. Okay, books are by size...on some shelves. Are they going to take away my MLIS?

Probably.

At home, no, but at work, yes.
