Last fall the Library Advisory Committee began working with the Library Faculty to devise a plan to alleviate overcrowding in our library stacks and to make room for new acquisitions. In Spring 2016 the library negotiated an agreement for off-site storage with Iron Mountain, one of the industry’s leaders in storage and information management services. Over the summer 10,172 books published before 1950 which had not circulated in 12 years or more were sent to off-site storage. When viewed in the online library catalog, books included in the project display with the location “Off Site Storage”, and can be requested by clicking the “Place a Hold” button. Requested books will be delivered back to the library in one business day, and requestors will get an email when the book is ready for pick-up at the Circulation Desk. Books recalled from storage will not be sent back off site, but will be re-shelved in the library stacks after use. Please contact the library you have any questions about this new service.
