Initial Review

• Note the shipping address.  The address should indicate Room 12, Acquisitions dept., Serials dept (Room 246 serials), Asian Library, Slavic Library or otherwise indicate the piece is intended for our unit.  
• Mail addressed to other Library units or elsewhere on campus can be returned to the outgoing mail slot by the mailboxes.
• Any materials that indicate "Rare Books," "RBML" or "Maps" should only be opened by those units, even if it is an item we have ordered through ACS. 
  • Notify staff at RBML or Maps if an item is delivered (usually, they will come pick up the package).
• If a piece is addressed to the University of Illinois Library in general, the piece can be opened to determine its intended recipient.
  • ACS occasionally receives items intended for interlibrary loan on the 1st floor, or vice versa.
  • ACS occasionally receives books that are being shipped as review copies, author copies or other courtesy copies intended for an individual.

For anything uncertain, keep together the package label and/or paperwork that came with the piece so it can be investigated.  These can be placed on the metal bookcase in front of Bernadette Braun's workspace.
