Emory patrons can now request Georgia Tech items housed in the joint Library Service Center. The Library Service Center is a remote storage facility that houses both Georgia Tech and Emory collections. All Georgia Tech items in the LSC can be requested by Emory patrons. These items will be delivered to the supervisor's desk to be placed on hold. This is the workflow:
1) Item comes to the supervisor's desk with a band on the cover flagging item as Georgia Tech item from LSC
2) Supervisor will check in item to activate hold - similar to Emory storage item
3) Item will be placed on ILL shelves on Georgia Tech shelf
4) When patron comes to pick up Georgia Tech item, check the Requests tab under their account in Alma. Georgia Tech items will not have a call number listed, but you will know it's a Georgia Tech item by the "Borrowing Resource Request" designation. Note the title of the request to find it on the Georgia Tech shelf.
5) Checkout the item to the patron.
6) When item is returned, check-in as normal and place on stacks cart. The stacks team will route back to the LSC.
Additional notes:
This service is not available to non-Emory patrons (alumni, fee accounts, ARCHE, etc).
The loan period for Georgia Tech items checked out by Emory staff and students is 120 days. Emory faculty get 1 year.
Emory patrons will be able to request Georgia Tech items in discoverE under the Request from Georgia Tech link in the Physical Resource tab.
If patrons select the pickup location as Library Service Center, they should be able to view the item directly on site.
