You can easily move requests from your Saved Requests queue into the library staff's paging queue, once you know when you will be visiting the library.

1. Login to your Aeon account and click Saved Requests & Orders from the Order Status menu at the top of the page.

Bancroft staff use the "Save Request" option to help schedule off-site shipping for items you will need during your research visit.
If you have more than 7 items that need to ship from off-site storage (NRLF), which may take 1-3 weeks to arrange into the shipping schedule, we recommend requesting your items in the highest priority to the lowest priority order as soon as you are able. When we can accommodate your requests, staff will manually move them from your Saved Requests queue to our shipping request queue (including any items above your Active Request limit).
Staff will monitor your progress working through the material paged in for your use. Depending on your pace we will either pause shipping or retrieve items ahead of schedule (and above your Active request limit) if there is extra space on a daily shipment.
Please note that any large orders, regardless of request allowances, are subject to restrictions out of our control: lead-time you have given us, staff availability, transportation and traffic, storage facility staff and computer issues, on-site space and conservation considerations, and the needs of other researchers.
1. Email banccirc-library@berkeley.edu to alert staff that you are submitting a large number of Aeon requests for your next visit and to please check in your “Saved Requests” list. Once you have submitted your requests in Aeon we can begin to arrange shipment and will contact you if there are any issues.
2. Follow the steps under How to Request Materials from the Library Catalog (UC Library Search) or How to Request Bancroft Materials from a Finding Aid.
3. In the “Notes for Library Staff” field, for each item submitted, list the priority of your item with unrepeated numbers (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th...8th...15th..32nd etc.). We use your stated priorities to help arrange shipments of your prioritized material.
4. Select Save Request at the bottom of the form.
