LINX, the Library Annex, is primarily meant for the most infrequently used materials, as well as materials that will benefit from the facility’s optimal environment and security. Library Annex materials include:

  • Low-use, last-copy monographs, serials, series and unique archival holdings that have projected future low use.
  • Physical copies of texts that may reliably be found online (especially journals and indexes).
  • Runs of rarely used serials.
  • Backfile print journals archived in partnership with The California Digital Library Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST) repository program serving research libraries, college and university libraries, and library consortia in the Western Region of the United States.

The Library Annex is a dynamic collection, which means that volumes may be returned to campus libraries in response to high demand, and volumes will continue to be transferred to the library annex from Mullins Library and the branches as collections grow.
