Q. What does "in process" mean? I was looking for a book.

Items that have been ordered and received but are not yet cataloged and available for use will display a status of "In Process" in the library catalog. 

Current MTSU students, faculty, and staff may request priority processing for a Main Collection book that is listed in the MTSU Library Catalog as "in process" by using the Wait List option or Place a Request option in the catalog record. Items for other collections, including Special Collections, Curriculum Collection, and music or media collections, are generally not available for priority processing.
