Abstract
The Pennsylvania State University Libraries currently house 18 percent of the main campus collection in an oncampus storage facility. The local online public access catalog, automated circulation system, delivery service, and tele-facsimile have been integrated into a service program that provides patrons with the ability to identify and retrieve needed materials rapidly from the stored collection. The success of the storage program and service can be attributed to careful planning, implementation, and follow-up assessment. Though born of necessity, the positive results of the program have implications for the organization, housing, and preservation of collections.
