I am hoping so get some "in the trenches" information on the pros and cons of temporarily storing circulating library materials in truck trailers, vs. storing in a warehouse space. A client (NY, NJ area) contacted us last week looking for truck trailer tips; he will be storing part of his general collections for approximately 6 months, from January to June, during construction/renovation. While there is plenty of good info on commercial storage options, we had no printed information on the use of heated (not air conditioned) trucks. We had a good discussion about access, humidity control, and security, but have no literature, nor experience, to add to. In the end, we decided in terms of access and collections care that a records center *would* be best, but the cost seems significantly higher. If anyone has considered or gone with temporary trailer storage, I would very much appreciate it if you could take a few minutes and give me your thoughts or experience on the subject. Thank you!!!
