Cataloging Administrative Policies

Request for RUSH cataloging and processing of materials is a
service provided by Bibliographic Services. All RUSH items are
given first priority in cataloging workflow.

Request should include the title and author's name and be made directly to the Head of Bibliographic Services.

Rush items include:

• Reference materials.
• New materials flagged as RUSH by an academic department on order card.
• New materials flagged as RUSH when a request is made by a user for a title RECEIVED and waiting to be cataloged and processed.
• Dissertations.

Availability:

• All RUSH items are cataloged and processed as soon as possible.
• Hattiesburg campus requests require one working day.
• USM-GC campus requests require three working days for logistical reasons.

If you have any further questions, please contact:
Ann Branton, Head of Bibliographic Services, at ann.branton@usm.edu
