Cool. This is Lisa and Laura, they are my two retired teachers that are now helping in the library to sort shelves.

Can you explain to them what you want them to now do?

I read the paper and I would like to say, it's confusing at best. But I'm hoping you can help out.

A lot of things are confusing at first but then we discover intuitive ways to explain and teach them to others.

Also, don’t discredit the intelligence of retirees, teachers and librarians in the same post. It’s bad for karma and makes you sound like a douche. I’m sure they can figure it out.

Wasn't my intent. The article was "how to do this" with lots of great pictures. Linked page was full of high level math. I was mocking the "This one simple trick can make your shelves full" attitude.

So you answered and I'll ask, "what do they do, it does not seem simple" except for the Database people filling ....

Thanks (former teacher)
