Hi, Stacey!
We don't do shelf ready (although our vendor supplies paperbacks with Kapco
covers), so I can't answer #1. When we purchase ILL titles we treat them
as rush. We are fortunate to have an Amazon warehouse very close by and
doubly fortunate to have a cataloging department willing and eager to
accommodate rush requests. Property stamping and tattle-taping are done
in-house by student workers. As a result, we can get rush books to our
access services--from order to patron--usually in less than a week and
three days is not unusual. We could trim a day off of that if books didn't
have to come through the central mail room on campus.
Cheers!
--Forrest
