The CEO just wandered in with his coffee and wanted to "chat." How do you think you want to rearrange the library? Why? What about the sprinklers? What are you hoping to accomplish? Can we go electronic on some of these old journals and government reports? How much would that cost? Who uses these, and how often? What would be the tradeoffs of consolidating the library collections into a single building? Can we go to pdf archives of our in-house reports? How much would that cost? Did you realize that if we get crowded in the offices we'll need to house some staff in the Wilder library room? What about high-density storage bookcases? Has the 5-S committee met with you yet? See about joining that committee. What are the total overhead costs of storage for these materials vs the costs of reacquiring them if needed?

Geez, I hadn't even had my coffee yet. I feel like I was talking out my ass. (But now I have a lot of good questions to go research, plus the sensation that he might actually be willing to spend some good bucks on e-resources.)
