Abstract

At the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) University Libraries, the Lied Automated Storage and retrieval (LASR) system is an onsite overflow storage facility that provides a valuable service to all library users. The automated system has large moving parts that need an operator for exact instructions, interpretation, and judgment. As a result, operating and understanding LASR functions requires extensive training.
