Currently individual e-books are ordered through GOBI by a copy cataloger, who gives a printout of the order to the Original Monographs/Special Formats Cataloger. The cataloger then waits  For EBL and ebrary books, the cataloger waits for email conformation from the vendor before receiving and loading the order and cataloging the bibliographic record. Requests for cataloging e-books are also received via email from Acquisitions/Electronic Resources Management Group. In some cases they are firm ordered individually (not through GOBI) and In some cases the individual titles are part of an e-book collection set. Some sets have individual records available for batch loading from OCLC. The Head of Cataloging and Metadata Services is currently responsible for ordering and loading these sets into Sirsi. In other cases for which no record sets are available the cataloger must find and download the OCLC records individually (done on a case-by-case basis).
