RUSH cataloging and processing workflow
EXCEPTION: Items that are going on reserve are shelved in call number order and may be on the reserve shelf for up to a year. We will catalog reserve material as soon as it is received.
The procedures are as follows:
Receive and Barcode the item. Barcodes are placed in the upper left corner on books and DVDs. Barcodes are placed in the lower left corner on CDs.
End processing (e.g. call number label, security targets, stamps, stickers, etc.) will happen after the item is cataloged.
Change the item process status from in process to available.
Add a note in the Circ Note field in the item record: “Please bring to RUSH return shelf in the IRM Department.”
Send RUSH books to the correct contact in Circulation or ILL.
