Books in the Remote Store

Books in the Remote Store

During the summer of 2007, the ILS department moved over 30,000 books to a new Remote Store facility in the centre of Worcester, in order to free up space for studying, and for more key texts and new titles in Peirson. All books which were removed had not been borrowed since at least September 2004, but were seen as still potentially relevant material, so they are now available on a request basis.
