Abstract:

Huler describes the new state-of-the-art Hunt Library at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. \"Robot\" librarians are among one of its most interesting features. A patron selects a title from a computer; a robot glides down a 160-foot-long, 50-feet tall, steel alley, finds the drawer holding the requested title, and retrieves it.
