Occasionally, you might see an item in the Library catalog that has one of the following messages,

"No Holdings Available--check at Circulation Desk"
or
"Order Received"

If a Columbia College Chicago student, faculty or staff member urgently needs one of these items, he/she may submit a request for expedited processing of the material.

Next Steps

1. Please complete a Request Form for Material in Process.
2. Print a copy of the catalog page that displays the message and attach it to the form.
3. Submit the form & printout to the 1st floor Circulation Desk or the 2nd floor Reference Desk.

The Library Technical Services staff will investigate and confirm the item's status. If there is a problem, we will contact you right away.

Once the item has been located, it will be processed within 48 hours. When the item is ready, it will be delivered to the Circulation Desk where it will be placed on the hold shelf under your name. The Circulation Desk staff will notify you that the requested item is now available for use, and it will remain on the hold shelf for 24 hours.

NOTE: Rush processing of an item does not grant circulating status to those already classified as non-circulating.
