Abstract
University of Missouri – Kansas City Built a storage facility adjacent to the main library with automated retrieval and designed it to hold approximately 80% of its physical collection. Formulas using date of purchase and frequency of circulation and/or date of last circulation were used to determine which books were stored in The Robot. Issues raised by the unusually large percentage of materials going into storage and by the quick retrieval time are discussed.
