Floating collections include materials that move among branches based on where the materials are returned, holds placed, or new books distributed. Materials remain at the library where they are returned. When necessary, items are moved to another branch due to lack of shelf space or too many items on a topic. Having a floating collection gives smaller branches a wider range of items. Less time is spent sorting and handling a delivery. Depending on the policy of the library you can decide if all items should float or if you have a special collection that you don't want to float.
I have information dating back to 2008, about floating collections. Maybe it's time WCFL started floating.
