Overview
Order Services provides support for selectors with placing orders for print and media purchases for the Woodruff Library collection. We order and receive materials for all areas of the physical collections except purchases for the Business Library and non-Roman language materials ordered by Area Studies Selectors. This includes orders from vendors around the world. We manage single monograph eBook acquisitions through pre-coordinated supplier licenses, maintain standing orders for print monograph series, and expedite all rush-designated requests. We manage two high-volume shelf-ready plans and import full cataloging records for these orders. We create order records for all purchases to provide on-order status information for patrons searching the library catalog.
We work with Collection Management, Interlibrary Loan, Reserves, Preservation, and many other areas of the library to fulfill and receive orders for new and out of print publications. We collaborate with accounting by providing Alma purchase orders to facilitate invoice payments; we also create new ALMA vendor accounts, arrange for ACH payment and request transfers for depleted book funds.
