A fascinating article with link to a funky media presentation / video about
the high tech library stacks at Harvard.
Unfortunately a bit pretentious in its format and presentation, with really
strange music - but stay with it though !

Cold Storage is a 24-minute documentary short film interlinked with an
expanding collection of intertextual media artifacts, an archive of
experiments and experiences in and around the Harvard Depository ("HD"),
Harvard's off-site library storage facility. Taken together, the film and
its associated media collection explore how libraries have changed from the
"shrines to knowledge" of the past to the evolving networks that
interconnect vast warehouses and patrons of the present. By looking at
objects as varied as books, databases, and air-conditioning systems, what
conversations about libraries of the future may be prompted?
The Library Beyond the Book
Co-written by Jeffrey Schnapp and Matthew Battles, The Library Beyond the
Book combines a deep study of the library's history with reflections and
provocations for thinking about the future of libraries, in part drawing
from their research initiatives at metaLAB. The film takes its name from
the closing chapter of the book, Cold Storage, which is based upon an
initial media reconnaissance mission to the Harvard Depository
