Storage Retrieval Services
Because the University of Kentucky Libraries' has outgrown the space available in its campus libraries, the library system utilizes space in two storage facilities, one located
on the Lexington campus and the other located off campus. Lesser-used monographs, older journal collections, some materials managed by the University Archives &
Records Program, and some materials held by the Libraries' Special Collections are among the materials housed in Storage.
Storage materials will be retrieved and delivered at no cost to the user.
Format Availability
Some print materials that are held in Storage may also be directly available in electronic format. Check the Libraries' E-Journals Database for information on electronic
availability before submitting a request for Storage retrieval. Print materials that are directly available in electronic format will be retrieved only upon special request.
