ABSTRACT Finding shelf space in an Association of Research Libraries library is an endeavor fraught with tensions. It presents an irreconcilable problem. On one hand, space is finite. On the other hand, we will continue to buy print books. Our tools for addressing this problem are limited and there are many competing interests. This article will analyze various options and present projects undertaken at the University of New Mexico Libraries that aim to address the space crisis in the stacks. They include a large scale inventory, weeding, reformatting, and the transfer of materials out of the library.
