WRLC operates a shared offsite storage facility designed to free valuable space in the campus libraries for newer or more frequently-accessed materials.

The storage facility provides high-density, environmentally-controlled, retrievable storage for books, audiovisual or microform media, and archival boxes. Individual items are sorted by size in order to store the maximum number of items in the minimum floor area.

Students and faculty of WRLC libraries may submit online requests for items stored at the "WRLC Center" using the ALADIN library catalog's Request feature. Materials requested by 5 pm are delivered to the library the next business day. Individual journal articles are transmitted directly to the requester at a password-controlled website. A small reading room is available at WRLC by appointment for onsite review of materials.
