[Publib] "Used" books?

[Sharon Foster]

In many (perhaps most?) academic libraries, there are signs requesting
patrons to please *not* reshelve books. There are at least two
reasons: making sure the books get reshelved correctly; and tallying
the books that get used in the library, not just the ones that get
circulated. Have any public libraries ever tried this? I realize it
requires some additional effort up front, but it might also save time
later--for both patrons and staff--when trying to find a book that got
reshelved incorrectly.
