The Origins of Off-Campus Access

facebooktwitterpinterestby feather

Accessing library materials from off-campus is one of the great conveniences of 21st century life. We should note that sending library materials to remote users is nothing new, check out this page from the Michigan Light House Conservancy about Traveling Light House Libraries, a book delivery service for 19th century lighthouse keepers and their families.

If you’re curious about other methods of document delivery, how about Biblioburro, a library that travels to users via donkey?

Of course, here at City Tech, our options include CLICS and ILL. Not as exciting as having your articles delivered to a mountainside, but we find them pretty useful.
