Shelving Priority and Procedures Teams and their function in Shelving One of the most important functions performed by the Shelving Unit is the return of materials back to their proper location in the stacks. Library materials which need to be shelved are routed through sorting rooms on each floor. Each sorting room is broken up into several call number ranges and all materials in the room are meant to be shelved.
