The British Library – Research Libraries-IV

Now we try to understand the reply codes in response to our requisition forwarded to them.
For example if they reply ‘LONDON’ as reply code, we have to understand that there is a slight delay in receiving in document by you, because they would have been sent your request to their London office for checking, because some parts at London collections.
You need not to respond in reply, that information is only for you to understand.
In the same way if reply code as ‘*MISS’ means item is missing from their records. For these reasons they recommend you to reapply, means even though an item is not available in their stock, it may be available after some weeks. To reapply an item, you have to follow the instructions given in section 12 of the ‘GENERAL HANDBOOK’
