Stacey,
I am also interested in your findings for #1 and #2. I am hoping to undergo a similar study here.
Thanks for raising this issue and for sharing!

Hello Acquisitions!
I'm interested in hearing what your turnaround for processing books is -
1. We get shelf ready books from our vendor - we copy catalog them so some go directly to circ, some diverted to cataloging for further work. What is your usual turnaround to get on the shelf for titles that fall in that category?
2. Books that come in with hold notifies attached to them. We treat them as rush - what is your usual turnaround for those to get to the circulation desk?
3. Books bought for ILL - we purchase books for ILL, they have a hold notify - again what is your usual turnaround to get the book to the circ desk?
