ABSTRACT:
A storage and retrieval library has a column of storage cells including at least some side-by-side storage cells. A media accessor with a picker gripper for accessing media in one side of the side-by-side cells is rotatable about a pivot to an opposed position for accessing media in the other side of the side-by-side cells. For multi-sized media, a column may have storage cells extending the full width of the column for holding a large sized media, and a second type of smaller cells arranged side-by-side, each for holding a small sized media. A media picker has a first gripper for accessing large sized media from the full width cells, and a second gripper for accessing small sized media from one side of the side-by-side cells. The media picker is rotatable about a pivot to an opposed position for the second gripper for accessing small sized media from the other side of the side-by-side cells.
