impact of off-site storage?

Greetings colleagues,


Here at Tulane we continue to move print materials from the main library
into off-site storage, as most if not all research libraries are obliged to
do.



   - I am wondering how research and researchers at your institution,
   particularly for the Humanities, are impacted by the physical distancing
   of print materials, particularly monographs.
   - What is the turnaround time for obtaining an off-site item?
   - Do scholars indeed receive what they need "just in time" to support
   their research process?
   - Do scholars tend not to request an item because it is too much
   trouble, or the turnaround time is too long?


Thank you,
