Where we choose to locate and store items in our work environment matters a great deal. Storing like items together can accelerate workflow and alleviate stress. Storing paper and toner together is an obvious consideration. But centralizing that storage next to the point of need (the printers!) takes the notion a step further. The storage closet pictured above is right off the main reference (read printing) area in the library. In addition, every variety of cartridge is stored neatly in the same closet, so no matter which printer runs out, there's only one place to go!(Note the metal scissors which are left in the closet to facilitate unpacking of paper and toner boxes. Another point of need solution!)
