Abstract
An automated memory cartridge system prioritizes requests for tape retrieval. The requests to transfer cartridges may be assigned a priority relating to the importance of the request. The system will recognize these requests and organize them so that higher priority requests will be executed ahead of other lower priority requests. This prioritization will be accomplished in such a manner which allows even very low priority requests to eventually be carried out.
