Preserving Archival Collections while Preserving the Environment: Has High-Density Storage Made SCUA More Energy Efficient?
'Wiley', 2019Co-Authors: Johnson, Charlotte M, Caringola, Elizabeth M.Abstract:This poster was presented at the UMD Libraries Research & Innovative Practice Forum, College Park, MD, June 11, 2019, and at the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of ACRL/ALA annual conference in Baltimore, MD, June 20, 2019.In 2016, Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) began moving collections from their stacks in Hornbake Library to high-density Offsite Storage at Severn Library. When Severn Library is at capacity, at least half of the Libraries' space will be dedicated to storing materials from SCUA. Our poster will outline how storing collections at Severn Library has affected SCUA's carbon footprint when compared with the energy consumption of onsite Storage and how this change fits into wider campus goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 50% by 2020 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. We will use data provided by Sustainable UMD's energy dashboard and UMD Facilities Management to determine the energy consumption of each facility and determine whether moving collections to Severn has reduced our unit's energy consumption

There and Back Again: Integrating Special Collections into Offsite Storage
'Wiley', 2018Co-Authors: Johnson, Charlotte MAbstract:The University Libraries have been storing general collection items in Offsite Storage for several years, but only now are we starting to accession and store special collections items. At Severn Library, we have had to figure out not only how to store special collections which require specialized care, but also develop intake and request procedures. In this talk, I will discuss Severn’s method of handling special collections items and our partnership with UMD Libraries’ Special Collections and University Archives department. I will also go over how we distinguish special collections items from general collection items, and go over how I developed the workflow for handling requests for special collections items

A Roadmap for Relocation: Surveying Research Behavior for Offsite Storage Decisions
eScholarship University of California, 2013Co-Authors: Martorana Janet, Schroeder Eunice, Granatino ChristopherAbstract:The UC Santa Barbara Library faced significant challenges in 2012 when it was determined that the collection of 700,000 volumes in the Library’s central tower had to be permanently reduced by 20 percent because of seismic retrofitting for an expansion and renovation project. While many libraries have reported on methods of engaging with faculty to inform selection decisions for Offsite Storage, little has been reported about using survey methodology for this purpose. To develop strategies for relocation that would have the least impact on research and teaching, a team of UCSB librarians worked with a faculty committee and the campus Social Science Survey Center to develop a survey of user behaviors and preferences in accessing library information resources. Members of the faculty committee were nominated by academic deans and the Academic Senate. The survey was distributed in spring 2012 to all faculty and graduate students. The target population returned 772 surveys, yielding a margin of error of 4.2 percent and a confidence level of 99 percent. Using survey results, the Library team developed six strategies for Offsite Storage selection. The strategies were then evaluated by the faculty committee to ensure consistency with the survey outcomes. Once approved by the committee, the strategies were presented to the campus and are now being implemented. The poster summarizes the steps taken by the Library team working with the faculty committee. It also presents the six strategies with supporting survey data displayed by graphs. Janet Martorana presented the poster on June 30, 2013 at the American Library Association Annual Conference in Chicago, Illinois
