Offline library

The offline library holds all media that are known by Media Service for Windows NT but are not in an online library or stand-alone drive. Media can only be moved from an offline library to an online library or stand-alone drive by the administrator physically inserting it into a library unit. A set of shelves is an example of an offline library. There is one offline library per Media Service system.
