Citation for How RooBot the UMKC Libraries' Robot works

YouTube (2011) How RooBot the UMKC Libraries' Robot works [online] Available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wJJLlTq7ts [Accessed: 20/8/2013]

UMKC Libraries' (University of Missouri-Kansas City) have uploaded a video on their robot at Miller Nichols Library, that shelves and retrieves most of their collection. The UMKC Libraries have uploaded up to nineteen videos to YouTube, with their last video was upload  six months ago. Their videos are for library staff and students, who are interested in robots or aspects that is happening in the UMKC Libraries. The library is located at 800 East 51st Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64110 and you can you can send snail mail to their mailing address at 5100 Rockhill Road. You can also call them at there Service Desk, Music/Media, LaBudde Special Collections and Marr Sound Archives.That is why I think this YouTube video is authentic.

  2. Really useful alternative to a compactus and more user friendly as well. I would like to know how it knows where all the books are in storage.
    The other question that this video raised is what did the University of Tasmania sacrifice in their libraries when they expanded the amount of space for student use.
