Adam, we considered that when we moved and centralized in 2004 (we are
a single office firm with approx 140 attys). The reason we didn't was
two fold: 1) Our collection is pretty active and requires a bit shifting
so the shelf locations would have to be updated almost constantly and 2)
we are a bit behind the times with technology and are not using handheld
scanners yet (but soon, VERY soon ...!).
Best of luck with your project! I'm happy to share our experience if
you have more questions.

Subject: Shelving Practices by DC Law Firms
Colleagues:
I am the Records Manager for the New York office of Dewey Ballantine, a
large law firm. Our DC office is moving to a new office and also moving
to a centralized records room. Along with this, the DC records
department is considering ceasing to shelve in client-matter but to scan
files to individual shelf locations. Are there any law firm records
departments in the DC area that shelve according to individual shelf
locations rather than client-matter number, and if so, can a tour be
arranged.
Please respond directly to me at [log in to unmask]
Many thanks-
Adam Herbst
