What is the Automated Retrieval System (ARS)?
The Hunt Library, which is being designed to take full advantage of the latest technology, will house print collections in a state-of-the-art Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ARS). The library will contain up to 2 million volumes—including the working collections for engineering, biotechnology, and textiles, as well as fragile and other materials that benefit most from environmentally stable conditions.
