These are usually older, seldom-used items. If a patron wants an item in Remote Storage they should be sent to the Circulation Desk to fill out a request to retrieve the item. There are runs to retrieve Remote Storage items twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday.
Circulation processes the items, notifies the patron, and holds the items there.
An inventory of Remote Storage was done and that's where the holdings information comes from. Titles which have since been cataloged need to be barcoded and have items attached to their records. Usually once a year in the summer we go out to remote storage to work on these things.
