crl-16452	Priddle, Charlotte; McCann, Laura	Off-Site Storage and Special Collections: A Study in Use and Impact in ARL Libraries in the United States	2015	19	.pdf	application/pdf	9566	330	38	In the face of these challenges, the off-site storage facilities used by many libraries for circulating collections are increasingly used for the storage of special collections materials. The findings of two recent studies on fire suppression in high-density off-site storage facilities that were presented at an ALA panel in 2011 described specific risks to boxed archival materials and books, made recommendations as to shelving special collection materials, and offered equipment strategies to minimize damage in the event of a fire.24 Methodology The authors created a survey to measure the use of off-site storage for special collec- tions materials within research libraries and to study the impact of off-site use on core special collections activities.	cache/crl-16452.pdf	txt/crl-16452.txt
