Safe Housing ----------------------------------------------------------------- The transfer of 375,000 low-use research materials from the Milton S. Eisenhower Library collection to a new off-site shelving facility in Moravia Park will begin this week after nearly two years of planning. The facility, located about 20 minutes from the Homewood campus, was created as a last resort to preserve the library's growing collection and to provide additional reader space at the MSEL. Materials shelved in the climate-controlled building may be requested at the MSEL circulation desk, by fax at 516-7317, through e-mail at moravia@jhu.edu, or by calling Eisenhower Express at 516-8358. Items requested before noon will be available at the circulation desk by 5 p.m. the same day; requests received by 5 p.m. or on weekends will be available by noon the following business day. Off-site facility supervisor Robert Patterson said the inventory-controlled system will ensure the safety and preservation of the volumes. "Books will never slip through the cracks," Patterson said of the computerized tracking system. "They will always be accounted for." -----------------------------------------------------------------
