This is an old revision of the document!
If a book, DVD, or CD cannot be cataloged quickly using the FastCat guidelines, please see the updated RUSH processing instructions below.
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 take care of cataloging reserve material as soon as it is received.
The procedures are as follows:
Books
Sublibrary: UMDUB or UMSCI
Collection: UGEN
Material type: BOOK
Item Status: 01
DVDs
Sublibrary: UMDUB
Collection: UMDVD
Material type: VDVD
Item Status: 06
CDs
Sublibrary: UMDUB
Collection: UMMCD
Material type: AUDCD
Item Status: 06
• Change the item process status from PC to blank
• Add a note in the Circ Note field in the item record: “Please give to staff member to bring to RUSH return shelf in the IRM Department upon return.”
• Give Rush books, DVDs, and CDs to Rachel Hobbie
When material is placed on the RUSH return shelf the item status needs to be changed from blank to PC. Susan will check the return shelf everyday to change the item statuses to PC.
*When they are very busy, Susan or the Lindas may also use these RUSH procedures.
