McMillan Videos: No Butt-Brush DVD & CD Areas in Commons :)


Ellen's notes:

All AV shelved in this section
Prefer all units be 4-6 feet apart to prevent “butt brush” (not to block access)
Don’t ever use lowest shelves and not too high
Much smaller collection – newer DVDs, didn’t notice non-fiction DVDs
CDs on same shelves as rest with dividers to hold in place – very spacious looking

(Butt-Brush happens when shelving units are too close and patrons brush or come close to brushing against each other when in the same aisle.  This makes them feel uncomfortable, and they will spend less time browsing and have a less enjoyable experience at library)
