Description | Duke University’s Library Service Center (LSC) is a state-of-the-art, high-density repository that opened in 2001 to store and to preserve the expanding collections of the Duke University Libraries. Located about 10 minutes from Duke's main campus, the LSC currently stores more than 3 million books and has the potential to store more than 15 million. Staff maintain the LSC collections in impressive, 30-foot-high shelving units and locate and reshelve books with the help of special lifts and a meticuluous electronic scanning system. | ||
