Title in Process (TIP) requests

I just wanted to send out a reminder that Title in Process (TIP) requests should be referred to the Circulation Desk. Staff at that desk can check to see where in the process the title might be and can check new book trucks, etc. or refer the request to Cataloging as necessary. Please don't send TIP requests to ejournals. The procedure for handling TIP requests is also available on the library's FAQ page
and copied below.

Thanks, Frank

Q: CRUZCAT says a book is "in process." What does that mean?

A: "In process" means the library has received the book but we're not finished cataloging and labeling it. To obtain access to these items, see the Circulation Desk staff to arrange for a “TIP" (title in process) Request. This service is available Monday-Friday, 9:00am to 4:00pm only. Good news! Access Services has extended this service to whenever the Circulation Desks are open.
