ACQ to CAT Workflows Galadriel Lackey Library Technician III Acquisitions Department
Overview • 15,000 to 20,000 ordered volumes to Cataloging annually • 20 to 30% are order requests • 3 to 5% received on standing order • Remainder come from Yankee Approval Plan or GOBI claims
Searching the Catalog • Series type (analytic, class together, or cataloged separately) • Added copies • Added volumes to classed together series • Different editions • Standing orders for monographic series
Submitting orders to vendors • Orders for big jobbers (Baker & Taylor, Emery Pratt) are ordered directly at vendor website and we are invoiced later • Orders for Midwest Library Service are submitted via EDI or less frequently, directly at their website • A few orders are faxed, mailed, or phoned in. Credit card or invoice • When we use expedited vendors (Amazon, Barnes & Noble) we pay with credit card
Yankee Approval Plan • Workflow is “backwards” • Books are received with PromptCat records • Search the catalog and insert notes • Search for extraneous records • Make sure there is an open order • Correct PO-Bib record links • Proceed to check-in
