Overview In addition to its role as the home of the University Archives and Special Collections, the Archives and Research Collections Centre (ARCC) facility and The Research Depository Library (RDL) hold a large number of low and medium use print journals and monographs in high density storage. The items are transferred to the ARCC facility from the five other library locations on campus. These items are placed in specially designed book trays and placed in a high density shelving system that is approximately 30 feet high. The items are located through the use of a specialized barcode system and retrieved by the Western Archives Resource Support Staff using an orderpicker (modified lift truck). Access to Materials Library materials, (materials with the catalogue location codes "ARCC Delivery Loan", "ARCC Delivery Lib Use Only" , "RDL Delivery Loan", "RDL Delivery Lib Use Only") are requested by students, faculty and staff at Western through an online form in the Shared Library Catalogue.
Electronic Document Delivery The ARCC and RDL also provide an Electronic Document Delivery service (EDD). The EDD service allows individuals to choose journals in the Shared Library Catalogue and request specific articles. The articles are digitally scanned by Western Archives Resource Support staff and uploaded to a server. Requestors are then sent an email which contains a link to the article as well as a password and PIN. To learn more about EDD please click on How Do I Request Electronic Document Delivery. Please note that a valid Western ID is required for this service. This service is not to be confused with document delivery through Interlibrary Loans.
