That is exactly what is being done. Melbourne Uni has had it for a few
years now. And the purpose: reshelving and putting books back that students
stashed to help them on exams and disadvantage others. At least that is
what I was told they were doing when I was working there on a different
contract at the time. After reading the other postings on this thread, I'm
not sure how successful it is/was.
