Reserve Orders

All orders for Reserve are RUSH.

Reserve will send an e-mail order to SEEKER typed from the information they have about the book. It should include AT LEAST: Author, Title, Imprint of the edition being purchased, location, Quarter needed, Class, and Professor's name. Any searching they have done will be at the end of each title's entry on the e-mail message. Look for the Bookstore searching and Books in Print searching to determine if the title is in print. Print the e-mail request.

Any requests over $100.00 will be passed through Collection Development for bibliographer approval. Any items listed as Books on Demand (from UMI) must be approved by Carol Bryan if under $100.00 and also Rhonda Neugebauer or David Rios if over $100.00. If the item is a custom made text book, Bibliographic Searching Unit will notify Stefanie Wittenbach for discussion between Stefanie and Bibliographer re: alternatively purchasing the complete original titles for the same price as the partial "custom" editions. Effective 11/16/99, Searching Unit is authorized to purchase the hardback instead of the paperback FOR RESERVES ONLY if the difference in price between the two is $30 or less. 

Order records for Reserve orders will be coded with Bibliographer = "-" (dash) for items processed without bibliographer approval, or with the appropriate bibliographer code if approval was given.

Rivera Reserves and Sciences Reserves will each have a fund allocation to manage. Records will be entered with a Selector field: Rivera: Fund=glres, Selector="C. Bryan"; Sciences: Fund=scres, Selector="S. Missaghieh"

Check Scotty to be sure the title was not received (or ordered) since Reserve's search. If new information is found, get the title RUSHED for RESERVE and notify the appropriate Reserve person.

Look at the Bookstore notation to see if the bookstore can supply the title.

Look at the location to determine the fund. Rivera=glres; Science=scres. Write the fund on the e-mail printout.

Group orders by--A. Titles in print but not at the bookstore, B. OP titles, and C. Titles available from the Bookstore.

Transfer orders from OCLC. DO NOT print slips, input price, or vendor.

Fill in any pertinent information not already included on the e-mail printout. Be sure the Country Code matches the appropriate Scotty code.

Insert a 949 field status line:

A. Titles in print but not at the Bookstore:

Include appropriate bibliographer code (c3=) only if Bibliographer approval was given to purchase the specific title. Key in any title not found on OCLC using the appropriate coding listed above. Write purchase order numbers on printout. If the OCLC transfer duplicate check found dups, verify the title is alright and change the status from 1 to o (do not print a slip).

Count on searching statistics.

Next search Baker & Taylor Link Online (http://www.btol.com) and follow the procedures to order electronically/phone order. (see ELECTRONIC RUSH ORDERING, B&T Link Online Procedures and The Book House Web Ordering Procedures).

Once the orders have been ordered via B&T Link Online or BookHouse Order Database, update Scotty.

If BAT or BKHOS are handling the title, put in the price as quoted by B&T or BookHouse and the vendor code (BATR or BKHOS). Insert an Int. Note:

(for BAT) Ordered via B&T Link date. Shipped UPS 2nd Day Air. initials

(for BKHOS) Ordered via BookHouse Order Database date. Rush [or Need by date]. initials

Make Rloc/Bloc = U. (this is our UPS shipping address.) and Tloc=e (this indicates ordered electronically.)

Put the printouts in the bin labeled "Ready to file" in the student's work area.

B. OP Titles:

Search the web dealers to see if someone has a copy available. ABE Books (www.abebooks.com) and Alibris for Libraries (www.alibris.com/librarians-home.cfm) are our two main web vendors. If you don't find copies available there, you may also try BookFinder (www.bookfinder.com) or AddALL (www.addall.com/jad/) which are good web sources that search several sources at once. If a copy is available from ABE or Alibris, order via their web sites. If available on Bookfinder or AddAll, order/inquire about it via e-mail directly to the individual dealer. If no copies are available, Do Not input record into Scotty.  E-mail Reserve that the item is Out of Print and no copies/editions are available.  Copy the bibliographer.  The bibliographer should contact the requesting faculty member about alternatives for the class.

Transfer orders from OCLC.  Fill in any pertinent information not already included on the printout. Be sure the Country Code matches the appropriate Scotty code.
