Oddly, the job has changed very little since your high school days. My
office is located in a library -- on a locked floor, with the rare books and
other sacred/profane materials (whoopee!). To purge the library of those
items that haven't been checked out in 5-10 years, and so create more shelf
space, a high-density storage facility was built several miles away.
Picture a Charles Foster Kane kinda scenario -- a warehouse full of precious
but useless things stacked to the ceiling. Stored in crates, they're
retrieved by fork lift. The point is that they all had to be manually
sorted, packed, toted, etc.
