There are several outcomes for D115m forms sent to PRD for replacement searching:

1. A replacement is available. PRD will forward the D115m to the department/selector indicating the replacement source.

2. A replacement is not found but microfilming or photocopying is an option. PRD will request the book from the department.

3. A replacement is not found and microfilming or photocopying are not options. The D115m will be returned to the department.

1. If a replacement is available
   1. If the selector/department wishes to continue the replacement process
      1. Fill out an order with the replacement information and forward the order to MAS.

      2. Input a note in the item record: brittle - repl. ord. [date]

   2. If the replacement process is not to be continued, follow the DCMM procedures for completing the replacement cycle.
