Instead, the books are given a location number and are stored by size in custom made storage boxes, filled with books of similar sizes. The boxes are then stored on the shelves.

The depository will also house the University Archives, which have some 1 million photo images of Ohio State as well as other records. The photos will be held in a separate room that will be open for public viewing.
