Did You Know? - ASRS

If you've had a chance to walk around and explore the new library you might've already seen or heard about the ASRS - Automated Storage and Retrival System. The new library at Macquarie University is the first University to get its hands on ASRS.

The ASRS allows students to type in an item and robotic cranes will retrieve your item in a matter of minutes! In my opinion, this is taking the hard work out of having to search for a book and gets it to you quicker but at the same time you lose out on stumbling upon books that could contain some further information on what you're working on!
