The building was purchased by UMD to accommodate the space and storage needs of several university units, including the University Libraries, which occupy about 21,000 square feet (6.5%). </li> <li aria-level="1">When full, Severn library will house approximately 1.25 million volumes and 40,000 archival boxes. It provides essential space for the University Libraries, which cannot currently accommodate all library materials and provide programming and study space.</li> <li aria-level="1">Collections are shelved in 30-foot-tall, high-density shelving. Materials are shelved by size and type rather than call-number classification, and staff retrieve materials using an elevated work platform (“order picker”).</li> <li aria-level="1">The environment is kept between 50-55°F and 30-35% relative humidity in order to best preserve the collections housed there. </li> </ul> <h3>Severn's Advantages:</h3> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Materials are easy to find</strong>. Similar facilities around the country have proved the effectiveness of a sophisticated tracking system and inventory control. It is less likely that materials in high density storage will be misplaced, lost, or stolen, and thus more likely that the book you need will be on the shelf. </li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Materials are better preserved</strong>. With more stable environmental conditions, the materials do not suffer from harmful effects of heat, humidity, and light exposure. State-of-the-art fire suppression systems minimize risk of fire damage. Because materials at Severn Library are only handled when a user requests them, they also experience less wear and tear, thereby contributing to a longer life.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div>
