As I said, I get a certain number of books (about one third) from perusing stacks. I am generally against « over optimization » in community spaces − I enjoy serendipitous discovery, finding out things exist while I'm there and stumble upon them, and would not spend that time on a computer. I do place holds on all the other books I get :)
