Hi Stacey,
1. Our shelf ready materials are reviewed for accuracy and then sent, by library courier, to their designated location within 2 business days.
2. Hold notifies are treated like any other materials, once they arrive we receive, catalog, and send them by library courier to their designated location within 2-3 business days. Unless a hold request is marked as RUSH, we treat them like any other order. We strive to have all RUSH requests received, cataloged, and to their designated locations within 1-2 business days (this depends on how quick the vendor and mail service brings those materials to us).
3. Books purchased through ILL are treated as if they are a Hold RUSH request, so we attempt to send the item out with only a barcode attached to the patron within 1-2 business days.
Sincerely,

Subject: [ALCTS-acqnet] Turnaround time for books
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?
Stacey
