The Library Collections Annex is located at 10 Park Lane in Providence, R.I., about four miles from campus. The Annex is a high-density storage facility with a capacity of 1.5 million volumes. Collections from all campus libraries, and in a variety of formats, are shelved by size and located by barcode in a warehouse environment where temperature and humidity are carefully controlled.
Other services offered by the Annex include electronic desktop delivery of journal articles and on-site consultation of circulating materials. All special collections materials must be requested in BruKnow to patrons registered in Aeon to be consulted on site at the John Hay Library.
