Michael,

What you're seeing in the UNLV catalog is a link to their automated 
storage and retrieval system (ASRS) system. We also have one here at 
Sonoma State University ( see 
http://iii.sonoma.edu/search/sjournal+of/sjournal+of/1,1195,1203,E/frameset&FF=sjournal+of+accountancy&1,1, 
for an example).

It is special programming done by III to link up the ASRS system to 
the III catalog (there was a fee involved). It allows the user to 
request the item directly from the ASRS and have it delivered to the 
circulation desk. The process usually takes about 10 minutes for 
delivery.

We have photos and a brief description of our system (we call it the 
ARS) at http://libweb.sonoma.edu/about/ars.html

Let us know if you have further questions.
