- Log into ILLiad
- If there are any requests, the "Rush ILL Requests Acq" queue will be visable under Document Delivery.
- Open the queue, and then select a request.
- GIST will automatically search the title within the Addons, including CatalogUSMAI, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.
- Use the catalogUSMAI tab to be sure that we do not already own the item and to determine if there is a matching record.
- If the item is not owned, move to the Barnes and Noble tab. If the item is available within 3 days, print the record (ctrl + Pright click, print). If not, move on a repeat the process with the remaining vendors. Use the google search addon if necessary to locate a vendor.
- If necessary, export a record, then create the order in Aleph Acquisitions. The completed request is then routed back to Borrowing, into the "Rush Request Orderd -Acq" queue.
- If you determine that the title requested is Not Yet Published, add a note, email the patron, and route the request to the "Rush NYP- Acq" queue.
- If the item is out-of-print and unavailable, add a note, and route the request back to borrowing.
