Roni Currently we have both electronic and manual. Our patrons seem to like the electronic system. We have our system through NOS (National Office Systems). I really haven't had any major problems with the system. We have a maintenance agreement through them and they are usually here the day we make the request.

The current system is electronic and could be upgraded, but I may have to go with manual due to pricing of a maintenance agreement. . For those with compact shelving, have any of you moved from electronic space saver shelving to manual assist? . What issues have you encountered? Pros and cons of each? . Those with manual assist shelving, have you had any maintenance issues? How often is maintenance needed? . Any lighting issues using the manual shelves? My current system has light built-in which comes on when a section is being used. The manual system doesn't have lighting which would require installation of lights over the shelving. I would appreciate any input from my colleagues on this issue - thanks in advance!
