See further guidelines for more information. (to be written)

Rush Ordering for Monographs

Do NOT use Coutts. Email to Library.Acquisitions@dartmouth.edu or use Monograph Order Form .

Please remember that rushes usually cost more for shipping and handling and that cost is also charged to your fund.

Rushes should be restricted for titles needed for a class or a patron in desparate need. Borrow Direct may get the item here quicker if a patron needs it for a short time.

Rushes are ordered the day the order is received or the next business day depending on how late you send us the order.

Acquisitions has a team to order rushes so please do not send to an individual liaison as that might delay ordering if the liaison is unavailable.

Once processed in Acquisitions they are sent to Cataloging and Metadata to be catalogued see: Cataloging and Metadata Rush Procedures . Materials are usually available 48 hours after the request is received; some special materials may take longer. If special circumstances require a shorter processing time, please contact Library.In.Process.Requests@Dartmouth.EDU directly for assistance.

Cataloging anad Metadata also has Priority processing: for cataloging in-process materials when no specific patron is waiting but the bibliographer feels that processing should be expedite. 

Replacement Ordering  

Do NOT use Coutts as it may tag these titles as duplicates. See Replacement Ordering for more information.

Out of Print Ordering

Barbara Sterling (tel: 6-3317) is in charge of searching for and ordering out-of-print titles. Please contact her directly to place orders. Email requests are preferred. See: Out of Print Ordering for more information.
