"Rush" processing is available for in-process materials when a library user wants to borrow them, or when they are needed for course reserves. When the public catalog shows a note such as "1 copy being processed for [location]" the requesting user should go to a library staff member and ask to make a rush request. Library staff may use one of the following methods to request in-process items for patrons or course reserves:

• Use the In-Process webform
• Email the In-Process mailbox (Library Staff Only)
• Fill out the paper In-Process request form (available from the Library Main Office)

Remember that if the Library Catalog record says "on order" the request should go to Acquisitions Services. Consider whether Borrow Direct might be a better option for some rush requests.

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 a supervisor in Cataloging and Metadata Services directly for assistance.
