SPECIAL MEMBERS ONLY EVENT: Oak Street High Density Storage Area Tour  (Member Event)
10:00 am
University of Illinois Oak Street Library

With over 14 million volumes and 24 million other items, including electronic books, maps, slides, audio tapes, microforms, DVDs, videotapes, laser discs, and video games, the University of Illinois Library is the second largest academic library in the United States. It is also the world's largest public university library.  The library occupies over two dozen spaces across campus including the main building on Gregory Street.  The Oak Street High Density Storage facility helps the library system operate more efficiently by housing items that are infrequently accessed  freeing shelf space in the other locations.

Join us for a tour of this amazing facility with its forty-foot-tall shelving units to see it in action.  This facility maintains 30% relative humidity and a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, so dress warmly.

Please email us at programs@ilccgs if you are attending no later than September 26th.  More details will be sent to attendees about parking.
