Library Poster & Map Storage at Frewsburg Secondary School

Cadfile vertical flat file cabinet for library poster & map storage being used by Frewsburg

Why choose this vertical flat file for library poster & map storage

Frewsburg secondary school selected the Ulrich Cadfile for their library poster & map storage. First because the Cadfile is a high capacity map storage cabinet. In fact this cabinet can store 1,000 posters and maps in the smallest footprint available. Next this cabinet is less than 11 inches deep.  Also the cabinet easily rolls on it’s heavy duty casters. Allowing it to be stored anywhere in the library.

The Cadfile is a vertical flat file which uses a unique spring compression system, and heavy duty folders to protects the documents from damage. In addition this cabinet uses very little floor space for document storage. While this vertical flat file cabinet’s heavy duty folders provide great document protection and a convenient way to organize your library poster & map storage.

Preserving a Special Collection – library poster & map storage

One collection in Frewsburg’s library poster & map storage is Picturing America. Which includes 40 large high-quality, full color, reproductions of works of art.  This art spans several centuries and containing work created by American painters, sculptors, photographers and architects.

“Naturally, we are excited to have these beautiful and historic images available to our children, says Robin Trapani, Frewsburg’s Library Media Specialist. “We display these posters on a rotating basis. And the Ulrich Cadfile preserves and protects the posters while they are in storage. As a result children can enjoy these images for many, many years.”

Before we had several sections of flat file cabinets that we were using for this purpose. The flat file cabinets used to much valuable library space and were not very attractive. While Ulrich Cadfile cabinet is so small. Of course it fits well in our library.  And the cabinet will hold this collection plus many more. It is amazing that such a small cabinet can hold 1,000 documents.”

Frewsburg School

Frewsburg Secondary School is located in Frewsburg, NY.  Grades 7-12 attend this school. And the school population is 479 students.

Blueprint Cabinet 1st choice of Utility Co

Document Protection – Easy to Use Blueprint Cabinet

 

The comments below are from the Engineers at the Board of Public Utility

The Board of Public Utilities, Jamestown, New York is a city owned utility. At all our substations we use the Ulrich Cadfile as our blueprint cabinet.

Our old system didn’t work

Our previous blueprint storage system had many problems. We hung our blueprints with clamps on an open rack system which leaves the prints exposed to the environment. Consequently this exposure makes the prints dirty, wavy, damaged and brittle. In addition, we set prints on tables when referencing them. And these prints would get coffee stains and spills. In short, we needed a better system.

We learned about these Ulrich Cadfiles. And we feel they are among the best products in our substations.

Capacity and Organization!

The Cadfile blueprint cabinet works well. In this case, we use D sized, 24″ x 36″, prints at the substation. And the Ulrich Cadfile stores D sized prints perfectly.1

In addition these cabinets hold a lot of folders, and these folders provide great organization. First, we organize prints for each piece of equipment in a unique folder. Then we attach a large label to each folder. As a result, our prints are always easy to find.

Even if we don’t fill the cabinet all of the way, there are little “tabs” that hold the blueprints straight up and down, and nice and flat.

Easy to Use

The Cadfile is easy to operate. For example we find it easy to locate and access individual prints. In contrast, with our old rack system, we needed undo the clamps, and take all the drawings apart.  And it was even harder to put the prints back in the clamps.

With the Cadfile it is quick and easy to find and file a print.

Blueprint Cabinet is also a rolling shelf on it's own, as well as great blueprint storage

It’s a rolling shelf

In addition this blueprint cabinet moves so easily we call it our “rolling shelf”. First we roll the cabinet to the equipment needing repair. Then we can lay the print safely on the cabinet while completing our work. The cabinet makes a great reference table.

 Document Protection

Another key point, the Cadfile provides protection from moisture, spills or leaking water. To be sure, no more wavy prints. (need fire resistance – see our Minifile Cabinet)

Would we use them again?

Would we use them again? To explain, we use the Cadfile blueprint cabinets in nine different substations. And our offices file blueprints in the larger capacity Planfile cabinet. So, we use these blueprint cabinets a lot. For all these reasons above we will buy a new Ulrich blueprint cabinet any time we build a new substation.

Map File Cabinet – High Capacity Cadfile

Town Manager recommends Ulrich Cadfile as their choice for Map File Cabinet in the Town of Manchester. Perfect for map storage, plan storage, drawing storage and even storage of aerial photographs
Patrick Gilbert, Town Manager

When walking into the Town of Manchester’s new and highly organized office space, you get a feeling of professionalism and efficiency. Meeting with Tina Cagle, Town Clerk and Patrick Gilbert, Town Manager you realize that looks are not deceiving. They strive every day to give their town the best services possible. This team uses the latest in technology including GIS and Digital Terrain Models to see their town’s past, present, and to make important decisions about their future.

Current Map File Cabinet Storage

One element of their office was not in keeping with this high standard of operating. It was their map storage. Town of Manchester had rolled their maps, and these rolled maps were stored in various places in the office. No Map File Cabinets.

We are really satisfied and I would recommend these Ulrich high capacity map file cabinets for anybody who is looking to solve a storage problem.

Patrick Gilbert, Town Manager

Search for a solution

They needed a Map File Cabinet and wanted the best. Tina Cagle, Town Clerk led the investigation into the right Map Files for their office. “When looking for our Map File, we had a few criteria we felt were most important:

  • High Capacity
  • Quality Construction
  • Document Protection
  • Space Saving
  • Made in the United States

The Ulrich Cadfile met all of our criteria,” says Tina.

Cadfile solves Map File Cabinet Storage Problem

Tina stated, “We have loaded all of the documents in one of our two Map File Cabinets, the folders help organize documents, and we can’t wait until we have completed the index cards to make it really easy to find any document when required. It was especially important to us to find a product that was made in the United States.”

“We really like them a lot.”, states Patrick Gilbert, Town Manager, “We like them because they are well built, they are a solid piece of equipment.”

Poster and Bulletin Board Storage

GREAT CHOICE FOR POSTER AND BULLETIN BOARD STORAGE.

We will provide all students the opportunity to learn today so they may contribute to a better tomorrow  – Clymer Central School Motto

Poster and Bulletin Board storage in school library
Poster and Bulletin Board Storage

Mary Zimmer is the embodiment of this motto

Her picture shows her enthusiasm for her job as Library Media Specialist, and the energetic spirit she brings to it every day. Mary utilizes posters, bulletin boards, anchor charts and signs to provide a bright, organized and stimulating environment for her elementary and junior high learners. She uses these posters, bulletin boards and signs and changes them frequently to encourage her students to read books, research new concepts, and explore new ideas.

Poster and Bulletin Board storage in Ulrich Cadfile
Clymer School Library uses Cadfile for Bulletin Board Storage

Poster and Bulletin board storage became a problem for Mary. She wanted a way to protect the precious budget dollars she had invested in these items. A storage solution that would keep these items handy when she needed them and tucked neatly out of sight when she didn’t. – who wants to waste space on storage! But most of all Mary didn’t want to waste her valuable time searching for her poster, anchor charts and bulletin board items when they were needed.

She tried a traditional poster rack. However she felt that the whole experience had been a waste of both time and money. The poster rack did not protect her posters, anchor charts and bulletin board items. And the traditional rack took up a lot of space, was unattractive and worst it was difficult to organize these items and find them when needed.

ULRICH SOLVES BULLETIN BOARD STORAGE

Mary was very excited when she chose the Ulrich Cadfile as her poster and bulletin board storage solution. And it solved all of her concerns:

  • More time for Lesson Plans – Better Organization means time saved!
    • Organized – With 20 folders the cadfile provides organization unlike any cabinet on the market.
    • Time Saved – Easily find the item you need and easily refile.
  • Save Budget $$ – with Ulrich Cadfile your items are protected and like new for years. No need to re-buy due to damage.
  • Save floor space for your kids – at only 10 3/4″ deep this cabinet fits almost anywhere.
  • Easily update your room – casters make it easy to move the Cadfile. Whether you need a totally new space or just need to clean the carpet.
  • Store 1,000 documents or more – when storing 24″ x 36″ size there is space for 1,000 documents. If your posters are smaller you can store even more!

School Map Storage at Jefferson Middle School

MIDDLE SCHOOL MAP STORAGE
Art print and school map storage at Jefferson Middle School. Saving space and protecting these important educational prints, posters and maps is of key importance. This mobile compact large document storage cabinet is the perfect tool for this job.

Located in Jamestown, NY is the Jefferson Middle School. In fact this public school houses grade levels 5-8 with a student population of approximately 400. Altogether the library and its staff, provide a quiet haven for book-worms and those with a thirst for learning. Not to mention when that learning extends to outside of the classroom.

SCHOOL STORAGE AT A PREMIUM

In this case a large computer lab, massive book collection and numerous student work displays provide little room for more supplementary materials, such as Maps, Posters and Art Prints. For this reason the Ulrich Cadfile is the school map storage solution that provides yet another learning opportunity for the students at Jefferson.

SCHOOL MAP STORAGE AS WELL AS POSTERS AND ART PRINTS

In particular the Cadfile cabinet  houses a map collection and Picture America art prints and posters from the National Endowment for Humanities. In fact this storage cabinet benefits not only the library but the whole school.

“Immediately, the file made it very easy to catalog and enter each item into the circulation system.” –Julie Livengood, Jefferson Middle School Library Media Specialist

CABINET BENEFITS

Especially helpful is the space saving technology provided with the vertical filing system. In addition to being space saving the labeled folders make it easy to locate the correct material quickly. Whenever teachers need many items for a project, we can easily wheel the entire unit to the classroom.

  • Only 10.75″ deep
  • 20 heavy duty folders come with the cabinet
  • High capacity – 1,000 documents
  • Casters make it mobile
  • File and remove documents easily – see video at end of article
