New Ordering Guidelines

Please give direct orders (non-B&T/Midwest orders) to Katie Page now that Pat C. is gone.

Direct orders no longer require green sheets. Just make sure that the order printout contains all of the information detailed below.

The details below pertain to ALL orders, not just direct.

Information Required on All Orders

General information

Name of ordering librarian

Date

Vendor name

IF WE NEED TO SUBMIT THE ORDER please note this, and give additional contact information for vendor.

For each item:

Title

Price

Quantity

Location (collection code)

Fund (budget)

Call numbers – not an absolute necessity, but we appreciate this!

Item type – usually this is obvious, but please point out if there is anything out of the ordinary (Examples: a single board book on a juvenile book order; a single 21-day nonfiction DVD on a regular 7-day DVD order)

ISBN – not a necessity but very helpful for book orders; this helps us catalog and check for duplicates

PLEASE DENOTE IF AN ITEM IS A DUPLICATE OR REPLACEMENT. If we already have something in the database, we can simply attach a new orderline to that record.

Ordering for multiple funds/locations on a single order is fine, just please be sure to note the fund and location for each item.
