Shelves in the LSC

The catalog says the location for the item you want is “Library Service Center.”  Where’s that?  and what is it?  The Library Service Center, or LSC, is a high-density shelving facility in East Durham that holds the library’s books and other materials for which there is no room in the campus libraries.  With 30 ft. high shelves, it can hold 4 million volumes.  No searching for call numbers on the shelf here – it’s all tied to barcodes.
Check it out for yourself: 

If you want something from LSC, click on the delivery-truck-icon next to the title.  Then click the Request link in the “Get This Title” box.  Deliveries are made to and from campus libraries twice a day during the week and once on weekends.

Thanks for the overview! I’ve actually never been over there, so it’s good to see what it actually looks like inside.
