Description

With libraries facing increasing pressure to accommodate both shelving and study space, depository coordinators may find their collections slated for closed stacks or off-site storage.  This session will discuss the different spaces, places, and methods libraries use to store and retrieve their documents collections, based on the results of the DLC Off-site Storage Working Group's recent survey.  We will also discuss the development of best practices for on-site and off-site storage of Government documents.
