| 词条 | Bay (shelving) |
| 释义 |
A bay is a basic unit of library shelving. Bays are book cases about {{convert|3|ft|m|1}} wide, stuck together in rows. In modern practice, items are shelved from the top shelf to the bottom shelf in each bay,[1] but in historic libraries where the shelves in a bay are not adjustable, it is common for the lower shelves to be spaced for accommodating taller books, with each book having a fixed location. Rows consist of a number of bays, either single-sided or double-sided, connected to each other. The standard length of a row is five to six bays, but it is not uncommon to find rows seven bays wide or even wider. In some countries a row is referred to as a 'stack' or a 'range'.
