Section II, Chapter A
Ordering Procedures
1. INTRODUCTION
These procedures are general; in special instances consult with Unit Supervisor.
1.1 Sources of order
There are two types of orders: form selections and others. All orders originate with selectors.
- Form selections are submitted on standardized order forms from vendors such as YBP, L&C, Puvill, Harrassowitz HARRG, AADL, Touzot TOUZOTEURO, Casalini, etc. Many vendors are moving away from paper slips and relying on electronic transmission of this information. The selectors will then select titles to be purchased electronically, download & print files, and then submit the paper files for the actual ordering process
- Selectors may submit others in a variety of different forms (e.g., hand or typewritten index cards, photocopies of book reviews, publisher's catalogs, advertising brochures, personal requests in memo form from faculty members, etc.).
1.2 Order information
All orders must come through the Acquisitions Section where they are checked for the following necessary information:
- Fund code (assigned by selectors)
- Vendor code (assigned by selectors or Head of Acquisitions)
- Price (supplied by selectors)
- Selector’s initials
- Date stamp / Head of Acquisition’s initials
- Assistant University Librarian for Collections’ initials for any new subscriptions
- Selector instructions (e.g., Restricted, LSC-SPECL, etc.)
2. PRE-ORDER VERIFICATION:
2.1 Receiving orders in cataloging
...
Search in Sirsi right before ordering to verify that the item is not already in the collection or already on order. Selectors are responsible for the first-round check for duplicates.
2.3 Duplicate orders
On duplicate orders draw a diagonal line through the order and note any information, which might be of use to the selectors (e.g., Sirsi control number, call number, on order, received on approval, already in stacks, etc.). When an item is being received on subscription or standing order, indicate the series, serial, etc. that it is entered under (see also sub-section 2.6). Place the duplicate orders in the "Duplicates" box, located beside the order basket.
2.4 Serials, sets, and other possible standing orders
...
The type of order (Subscription, Standing order, Analytics, etc.) depends on the format of the item and the way it is to be cataloged, as instructed by the selector. If the order has no instructions, check with the appropriate selector. Consult with the Unit Supervisor in case of unclear instruction.
2.5 Fill-ins and back orders
...
Fill-in(s) to an analyzed series or a class sep series, are firm ordered as separate monographs. Fill-in(s) to a set are firm ordered on the set record. Back-orders for a serial are firm ordered on the serial record.
2.6 Check series
When a monograph is part of a series, search the series title in Sirsi in the “periodicals” category. If the Library receives the series on standing order, treat as a duplicate order (see sub-section 2.3).
2.7 Check sets
When a volume number is indicated, search the catalog by author or title for standing order or set.
...
- DLC (full-level)
- DLC (CIP/PCC records)
- GMC
- MC
- OHX (Harrassowitz)
Record the OCLC number on the order. This number becomes the Sirsi control number and can be used to call up the record in the system.
2.9 Double-checking series information
...
While some vendors, such as YBP, L&C, and Harrassowitz, are consistent in providing correct series information, many other vendors are not. When an OCLC record is found to contain a previously unsuspected series statement, the series should be searched in Sirsi, particularly if the series is numbered. If the series is received on standing order or subscription, treat as a duplicate order (see sub-section 2.3).
2.10 Importing to Sirsi
Transfer the record into Sirsi (see Transferring Records into Sirsi, Section IX, Chapter B.)
2.11 Provisional records
unmigrated-wiki-markup
When no record is found in OCLC, note \ [0\] on order form and create provisional record. Write the provisional record control number on order slip.\\
NOTE: OCLC holdings are not updated when order is placed nor are they updated in any other instance when the item is not actually in hand.
3. STEP-BY-STEP ORDERING:
3.1 Introduction
The following applies to ALL order types. Individual instances of differentiation will be discussed within the context of separate categories in Section 4. Multiple order lines may be attached to each PO (see sub-section 3.6)
Click on the ‘Create Order’ Wizard (See Figure II.A.1 for basic, recurring, or dated order options). Locate the bib record in Sirsi by title, author, or control number. With new versions of Sirsi, the 'Create order' wizard no longer exists. Now it's just 'Orders' wizard.
Figure II.A.1. Basic, Recurring or Dated order icons
3.2 Creating New Order
- Vendor ID: Assigned by Head of Acquisitions or by selector
...
- Order Type: Selected from the drop down list (see Section 4)
- Fiscal Cycle: which is set to current fiscal year
3.3 Order Extended Information
...
Any information input here will appear near the top of each individual line, and thus must be appropriate to the entire order. (See Figure II.A.2)
Figure II.A.2. Extended information fields
3.4 Order line Information
Any information input here applies only to the respective order line
- New order line
- Unit price: Supplied by the selector.
- However, in instances where price is unavailable, use a default price of $35. If the price given is in a foreign currency, usually the assigned vendor’s currency is coded accordingly. However, if the price given is not in the correct monetary format, use a currency converter to convert prices into correct monetary format for the vendor (http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic). Need to use a different website that has more up-to-date monetary exchange (www.xe.com)
- Quantity: Use Quantity: Use default value “1” unless ordering multiple copies
- ISBN/ISSN: Extracted from the bibliographic record
- Parts in set: Used for fill-ins, complete set, or standing order (see sub-section 4.1)No longer use 'Standing order' in 'Parts in set'- needs to be remove.
Additional order line information
*Need to have examples screen-shots for each one below.*

Add screenshot here.
3.5 Funding and Distributions
- Fund ID: Assigned by the selector. (See Figure II.A.3)
Figure II.A.3. Fund selected as FAR
- Please note that KRF and KILLGORE funds default to REF holding code, FICTION fund defaults to FOF holding code, and 020 defaults to BIC holding code, unless otherwise requested by the selector.
- All orders by Jet Prendeville are sent to the ART location unless otherwise requested
- Holding code: Use the logical code (see Holdings Codes & Item Types) unless the selector requests a special location. (See Figure II.A.4)
Figure II.A.4. Holding code selected as DVD-VIDEO1
3.6 Adding new order lines
If a new line(s) is to be added to order, click on Add New Order line and locate the next item and repeat the sequence. (25 lines are the maximum) When the order is completed, type TODAY in the Date ready field. If the purchase order is not to be printed, set Date ready to NEVER.
...
NOTE: No order should exceed 25 lines in length; funds, locations, etc., may be mixed on one PO.--Delete this line

5. OTHER SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
...
5.1 Fill-ins and back orders + recurring or dated orders
Two orders are placed (One for each order type)
A new order to begin with the most current issue is ordered as a new recurring or dated order. The back issues are ordered as a basic order (firm)
NOTE: If a multi-volume record (Set or serial) exists in Sirsi but new order is being placed (either for back issues or as a reinstitution of standing order or subscription) attach order to the latest call number line by highlighting it before creating order. Never attach orders to INHOUSE call number line.
...
Music orders are created in the same fashion as other firm orders. The exceptions are that the Music Librarian provides an OCLC number on the order when copy in Worldcat exists. If no copy exists for an order, an 028 field with the publisher/manufacturer number must be included in the provisional record (see Creating a Provisional Record, Section II, Chapter B).
5.3 Prepayment
Order Extended Info
INSTRUCT: PREPAYMENT
Any orders requiring prepayment should not be placed in the ‘to be filed’ basket but should be given directly to the Firm Order Receiving Coordinator in Acquisitions or another Acquisitions staff as specified on the original order.
5.4 Replacement orders or orders for a different location
...
You will need to create a dummy XX call number with no copy structure to which the order will be attached.
- Additional order line information
- COMMENT: (‘Replacement order’; ‘This copy is for Reserve HIST 431’, etc.)
- INSTRUCT: (For the vendor's benefit, Insert a note that identifies the book as a replacement, such as "Replacement for lost/damaged copy.")
Adding a dummy call number with “XX” in front. A dummy call number is created when ordering replacement copy or added copy for a different location.
Highlight and copy the call number you need- using the ‘Modify order’ icon in the ‘Vol/Copy’ tab. (See Figure II.A.13)
Figure II.A.13. ‘Modify order’ icon
Use the ‘Add volumes and call numbers’ icon in Workflows to add a new call number (For replacement copies, a second copy, or a 2nd copy for the Reserve desk). (See Figure II.A.14)
Figure II.A.14. ‘Add volumes and call numbers’ icon

Figure II.A.18. Create basic order icon
5.5 Standing order decision shelf. When the first volume from a multi-volume set, or a series, arrives on Approval, permission for a Standing Order must be received from the appropriate selector. These volumes, along with the STO decision slip requesting fund and other specific information, are placed on the STO-decision shelf in the Acquisitions area, where they are periodically reviewed and returned to the appropriate cataloger. During the period that these volumes are awaiting review a note should be placed in a 590 note on the bibliographic record (“CURRENTLY ON CD STO-DECISION SHELF”). These notes will be deleted during cataloging.
–Does this section needs to be updated? Ask Jiun?
6. RUSH ORDERS
All rush orders should arrive in Cataloging clearly marked RUSH or RUSH ORDER ONLY (rush order only is for materials only requiring rush ordering but not rush cataloging).
Rush orders are placed by Head of Acquisitions or her designate in the Cataloging Rush basket. This basket is emptied at least once per working day, more often when there is a high volume of RUSH orders.
RUSH orders of greater urgency should be handed directly to Head of Acquisitions or her designate. Acquisitions staff deliver regular RUSH orders to the RUSH order basket in Cataloging, where they are searched for duplication, entered in Sirsi, and ordered with the vendor through Web, telephone, or paper purchase order, as appropriate. Purchase orders are printed at least daily, and mailed as quickly as possible thereafter. The Cataloging RUSH basket is emptied several times per working day. Acquisitions staff hand-carry urgent RUSH orders directly to a Copy Cataloger. Paperwork (a.k.a., Super-RUSH) Paperwork is returned to the selector on request. Under normal circumstances, a RUSH order is fully processed within 24 hours and no more than 48 hours of its arrival in Cataloging and Metadata Services and often much less.
- Order Extended Info:
- INSTRUCT: “RUSH” or “RUSH ORDER ONLY” (See figure II.A.19): “RUSH” or “RUSH ORDER ONLY” (See figure II.A.19)–NOTE: Miss-marked many times, 'RUSH orders' have a destination. (i.e., NOTIFY:..., Reserve ...) 'Rush Order Only' do not. Therefore orders need to reflect the right notes to avoid putting a blue flag on items that are meant to be 'Rush Order Only' and so they may end-up at the Circulation Desk for no apparent reason and no one to claim them.
- COMMENT: If paid by credit card “Credit Card/Do not print”; “NO MAIL”, “DO NOT PRINT”, etc. (See figure II.A.19)
Figure II.A.19. Type the word, “RUSH” in the Instruct line and “Credit card/ Do not print” in the Comment line.
...
- COMMENT: After your & selector’s initials, input any specific requests from the selector, “RUSH reserve HIST 432”, “RUSH” or “RUSH ORDER ONLY”, “NOTIFY: Dr. J. Smith”, etc.
NOTE: For Credit card or any NO MAIL orders leave ‘Date ready’ field “NEVER”
Vendor = PENDING (attach only one line to each order). PENDING is a dummy vendor primarily used for Internet/online orders. When using this vendor the ‘Date ready’ remains “NEVER” and the order is returned to the Head of Acquisitions for the eventual assigning of a real vendor. Please attach ONLY one line to each order in this case.
If RUSHes are not stamped with Return to JL, or Return to Liliana, put them in the regular basket.

Can we add a vendor list that shows the abbreviations and their corresponding names (from Sirsi) to this document?
Index terms: Ordering, orders, rush orders, firm orders, music orders
