Question: The status of the item I want says "Reshelving;" how do I get it?

Answer


NYU New York: An item with this status has been returned to the library within the past 36 hours. First, check to see if the item is in its proper location in the Bobst stacks. If you cannot find the item on the shelves, you may wish to check in the book sorting room of the floor or find a stacks staff person for assistance. If your search is still not successful, you may wish to check the Circulation sorting shelves, located on the first floor behind the Circulation Department desk.

NYU Abu Dhabi: Please ask the staff at the  front desk or email lib-nyuad-circ@nyu.edu.

NYU Shanghai: Please note that NYUSH items do not have "reshelving" status, as they are typically shelved within hours of return.
