Automated Retrieval Collection (ARC) Video |
|
Books and materials listed in the on-line
public access catalog as being "In Storage" are located in the Automated
Retrieval Collection (ARC). From the catalog screen you can request that
items be retrieved from the ARC and brought to the Circulation Desk for
you to examine/check-out. Items will be in your hands in less than
ten minutes. The image on the left is a view down one of the three aisles
in the ARC. The ARC's
massive
robot
cranes
locate
and move the hundreds of bins that hold more than a half-million books,
videos and other items from the Library's collection. |
