Every request ("transaction") made in Aeon is assigned a request status. This tells you where the request is in our workflow. You can find the current status of any request by logging in to your Aeon account and selecting from the Order Status menu at the top of the page
You may have one or two different statuses, depending on the services you have asked for. The reading room status tracks the location of your physical item, and if you are requested to view material in our reading room you will want to check this status before visiting. The duplication/permission order status tracks where your order is in our system. You can check on this status to see if anything is required of you to keep your order moving through our workflow.

A status will appear in the Duplication/Permissions Order Status column of the Active Requests table if you have placed a duplication and/or permissions order.
