Receiving ILL RUSH items As always when receiving an item, check the “Library Notes” field in the order record in ALEPH. If the item is a BOD (or Book on High Demand) it will be noted in this field as “ILL RUSH.” Receive and copy catalog the item if it is associated with an acceptable record, or for which such a record can be found in OCLC. Whether or not you can copy catalog the item, after completing work on it in ALEPH, you need to then process it in ILLiad before passing it on to Linda Fish (if you cataloged it) or Rachel Hobbie (if you didn?t catalog it.) Follow the RUSH procedures documented here: http://www.library.umass.edu/wikis/acp/doku.php?id=rush_cataloging_and_processing_workflow

Troubleshooting

Q: What happens if I click something and the request disappears from the queue I was in? A: Nothing is ever truly lost in ILLiad! If you remember a piece of information about the item (title of the book, Transaction Number (TN), etc.), you can do a search under “Search Requests”
