Their overall purpose is to provide information and resources to anyone interested in a certain topic. The unique characteristic about the Mclafferty Annex is that it is the only collection on this campus that organizes its material by the Dewey decimal system. The library uses a different organization system that deals with alphabetical and numerical call numbers. In the year 2006 while the Morris Library was being reinovated, the McLafferty Annex has served as the library while the original Morris Library was under reconstruction.

The annex features shelves that move on tracks that are controlled by buttons on the side. The Compact shelves move at the press of a button and save a great deal of space. When the library reopens, these shelves will be relocated there.
