Final report* [PDF]. In November 2004 a group of Library staff outlined provisional

collections, and additional requirements for a high-density automated shelving
system.
Faculty Task Force on Space for the Collections
In 2003 the Provost commissioned an ad-hoc committee of faculty members to
examine and review options for increasing shelving space. Chaired by Richard
Helmholz (Law), the members included Lauren Mets (Biological Sciences), Sam
Peltzman (GSB), Steven Pincus (Social Sciences), Stephen M. Stigler (Physical
Sciences), and Elissa B. Weaver (Humanities). The Committee worked closely
with their colleagues, Library staff, and SBRA.
The final report included 2 appendices: one comparing costs between an on-site
and off-site facility, and an appendix from the Library Committee on Collection
Development.
