Students, faculty or staff may request rush processing for materials which are needed quickly. This policy applies to both materials needed for instructional support and those desired for personal interests. If at all possible, materials will be available within two working days of the receipt of the request for rush processing.

Materials that qualify for rush processing will normally be marked either "Received" or "Temporarily shelved in Cataloging" in the on-line catalog. Materials that are marked "On order" cannot be rush processed. In other words, the materials must be here in order for us to be able to "rush" them. If there is an urgent need for an item that is marked "On order", please contact the Acquisition Assistant at extension 3651.

The faculty member or student should fill out and submit the following Rush Request Form. This form is also available at the Circulation Desk in the Library. The faculty member or student will be notified as soon as the book is cataloged, processed, and available for check out.

Rush Request Form

 This form should be used to request rush cataloging/processing for new materials. Under normal circumstances, the title will be available for use 2 working days after the form is received in Technical Services.
