One of the most under-appreciated pieces of office equipment is Office Bookshelves.
Just think what’s would have you done without it?
Total and utter disarray I would say!
They come in so many different sizes, materials, and designs no one would say it is such an overlooked piece of equipment.
MATERIALS:
The materials used to make these shelves must not only be sturdy and long-lasting but should at least make any office (whether in a closet or the office open space) look like it functions withe efficiency without clutter and staff can find what they want and when they want it!
Made from metal, wood, and even plastic it can make any office area a pleasure to work in if done right and kept in order.
DESIGN:
The design should be not only appealing to the eye and fit in with the office design to create an appealing place to work in. but should also be functional, and if necessary have accessories to help to get what you want, like a step ladder or a wheeled ladder attached to the shelve for easy access without injuring yourself or others.
It can also be designed to save space and accessibility to everyone who needs to access any books anytime.
One thing it should not be is made of inferior material that can affect the quality and lifespan of the books, for example, cheaply made wooden Office Bookshelves that have been untreated and have woodworm which also feeds on books, so there goes your library of valuable books!
ERGONOMICS:
Here we find this word again, but being the latest in health and safety in the workplace, this means exactly that, “KEEPING YOUR EM[PLOYEES HEALTHY AND SAFE AT WORK WHILE THEY DO THEIR DAILY JOBS”
THE FUTURE:
No matter what the future holds in technology and computer advances the actual book itself, the feel, the smell, the pages cannot be replaced by a computer PDF version, so the bookshelf is in no threat of disappearing soon.
Maybe it will help those with disabilities like blindness and or wheelchair-bound and they need to get info where that cannot reach or the book is not in braille but the actual book itself, I would say is here to stay.
The proof behind this is not only the number of libraries still out there, companies still having entire offices dedicated just for books, but also the fact that book shops are not a dying breed either.
