Storage

The Magazining called an archiving process, the decision is preceded by whether a good is worth collecting or not.

Magazining takes place wherever objects are collected. The best-known areas are libraries, museums and archives, which, in addition to the possibility of open access via open access holdings or exhibition rooms, store their holdings in closed storage rooms as a magazine display.

Practical work processes include material preparation such as bookbinding protective measures or labeling. Exceptions to the generic material, such as B. Miniature books in libraries are stored separately as so-called capsule fonts. In museums, museum objects can also require special maintenance by magazines and restorers.

While the storage space of books as monographs can be calculated well in advance, this cannot be said of the annually growing required shelf meters for magazines. The storage of storage in particular has a role here in calculating the space requirements, which has a large share in the design of library and museum buildings.

The collected objects are accessed via signatures assigned during storage , which allow conclusions to be drawn about the exact storage location. The signature customer is therefore one of the training areas for information and documentation. Knowledge of past and current signatures is part of the elementary breakdown of an institution's treasures.
