The initial decision to build remote storage facilities (rather than ever larger library buildings) was made for our
state universities at the Board of Regents level more than 20 years ago. In my library, everyone who had any direct
involvement has now been retired quite some time, so many of my responses to this question are educated guesses.
TUG Information Resources Group was a key working group that defined, and now manages, the Annex. Circulation
Services, Collection Maintenance unit was deeply involved in the procedures for shifting and report development. They
continue to do the work required for the shifting and maintenance of the collection.
