A UNISTAR record indicates a title is “ORDERED on mm-dd-yyyy,” how long does it take to get it on the shelf?
It takes approximately six weeks, on average, for items ordered from an American publisher (longer from abroad) to arrive in the library. It can then take up to three weeks for the item to be cataloged and on the shelf, if there are no complexities involved. If you need this item as soon as possible, please take a printout of the UNISTAR record to the Circulation Desk. They will notify the Technical Services Dept. to give the item priority in cataloging, and will notify you, as soon as the item is ready.
