(most are included in holdings for the various libraries on campus)
The Library Annex is primarily a storage facility for
lesser-used materials from the collections of CUL. While the majority
of materials at the Annex are books, it also contains more than 27,500
cubic feet of manuscript material from the Division of Rare and Manuscript
Collections and the Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation and
Archives. Over the next two years, one million volumes will be moved into
the new Annex addition (see Library Annex Expansion Project).
Material from the Annex can be delivered to the Cornell
library of your choice and will normally be available at the circulation
desk there within 24 hours, Monday - Friday. Items may also be held at
the Annex reading room, to be checked out or used there. Because the Annex
uses high-density storage techniques, it is not a browsing library and
the retrieval of requested material takes some time. Therefore, we ask
that you provide us at least two hours advance notice when requesting
items to be held for you. Either of these types of original material requests
may be made with the Annex request form.
As an alternative, you may find it convenient to use
our document delivery service. If you have a valid Cornell ID and are
requesting journal articles or tables of contents, you may request that
copies of these materials be delivered to you directly, either via the
Web (EDD) or by fax. For this service, please use the document delivery
request form. See the Annex
