What is at the Library Shelving Facility (LSF)?
More than 150,000 volumes are housed in Yale’s high-efficiency, off-campus Library Shelving Facility, including the following types of materials: • Monographs in the “Old Day” classification (missions-materials added to the collection through ca. 1950). • Materials published before 1850 (regardless of classification) with the exception of materials that receive heavier use, which are housed on-site. • The library of the World Student Christian Federation (WSCF), formerly housed in the Day Missions Reading Room.
