Not by the least similar, in my opinion. Ever heard of the 5S, common in japanese businesses ? In a nutshell, it is a set of directives for how your workspace and tools should be arranged as to minimize your interruptions and maximize productivity. What you use the most should be the easiest and closest.
A dictionary is something I would use every couple pages (indeed, I do take note of words that often, and look them up all later), while getting a new book is something that might happen once a day, and that's a big stretch.
