I am the Head of Stanford University Libraries Department of Access Services.  My department is comprised of 7 units. With the help of an excellent team of managers and staff, this department keeps library inventory accessible and under control.

2. Media & Microtext Center: non-paper media collections such as DVDs, games, microfilm
3. Green Library Stacks: management of 3 million volumes in the main campus library
4. Stanford Auxiliary Library 1&2: an on-campus library of overflow collections from across all disciplines. A small reading room, 1 million volumes on compact shelving, and an active paging program
5. Stanford Auxiliary Library 3 (SAL3): a high-density cold storage preservation facility in Livermore for 2.8 million items with active accessioning and delivery program to campus
6. Stanford Auxiliary Library - Newark: immense storage and retrieval program for archival newspaper collections from around the world
7. Collection Transfers & Google Books Library Partnership: Planning and supporting large collection moves between campus libraries and to off campus storage.
