Nebraska's Library Depository Retrieval Facility‪.‬

Introduction Beginning with Harvard University in the 1980s, the use of high-density storage for library materials has steadily increased over the past two and a half decades (Nitecki and Kendrick, p. 1). This paper looks at design and implementation issues in building a facility at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) in 2004-2005, adding to the expanding body of knowledge and experience in the planning, funding, building, operation, and staffing of such facilities. A new element in the UNL Libraries' delivery of service is the Library Depository Retrieval Facility (LDRF). Completed in June 2005, Nebraska's Library Depository Retrieval Facility is an example of a recently constructed high-density storage facility among academic libraries in the United States.
