The Statewide Storage Facility’s primary purpose will be the storage of low-use materials from the state university libraries in Florida. It will be a high-density “Harvard” model with a non-browsable organization of material, it will be climate controlled, and it will be located in Gainesville. The facility will house shared copies of monographs, journals, and other items which will be equally and readily available to all state university libraries. The collections will include a mix of accessible and non-accessible materials. There will also be a conservation operation within the building.
