Information and procedures concerning:eBook, print monographs, and standing order purchases

Ordering Procedures

We typically check with Baker & Taylor first, since with the State of Texas contracted vendor, we receive a discount with them.

Other vendors include: YBP, Alibris, AbeBooks, Amazon, EMS, MusicSouce, Arkiv, CD Source and others....

In general we order paperback format.  If hardback/cloth format is priced within $15-$20 as the paperback version, the hardback option is preferred.
If the subject bibliographer specifically requests hardback format, order hardback unless there is a very large (more than $50) price difference from the order card.  (Consult them at that point.)

We do not order large-print, study manuals/lab manuals, reprints (duplicates), spiral notebooks (except Music), activity books, access key only,  or print-on-demand (except Choice {white cards} or YBP {yellow} slips Any other Print-on-Demand order requests should be approved by Head of Technical Services).

Duplicate Checking in Sirsi

  • Always default to “exact search” if you do not find a title, click Keyword do double check
  • Be careful of typos. If you spell things wrong SIRSI may not recognize it.
  • Always check the year of the book before marking it as a duplicate. We order new editions of things.
    • Do be aware that a book with two publication years directly next to each other is likely the same thing. Different publishers can pick up books towards the end of one year and choose which year they want to publish it under (same as buying a 2014 car even though it is still 2013).  So if we own a 2012 edition of a specific title and a librarian requests the same title published in 2013 make sure it is not the same book before you order it.
  • Careful of the word/symbol AND. If the title has an & symbol on the card and you do not find it in SIRSI try switching it for the word “and” before assuming we don’t own a copy.
    • Same goes for numbers
      • Try both the actual number and the word
  • If you find a duplicate title, mark the “DUP” on the card and put it in the box by the student computer.
    • If it we own the title in e-book format—write “own e-book” on the card and either give it to me or put it in the selector’s box.
    • If the book is in the PDA you will see a note in the 899 field that says "PDA ADDED" --write on the card "in PDA" (include platform--EBL; EBRARY; EBSCO). If it says "PDA PURCHASED" then write own ebook on the card and give back to selector's.
  • If you get an order card and the selector requests an e-book, CD, or DVD,give it directly to Dawn (we only order print materials)
  • If you have a title that is over 500 dollars always check the ISBN after checking the title (we do not want to get any very expensive books that are non-returnable).
  • If you get a request for anything starting with the title Wiley Blackwell please do a search under "Wiley Blackwell" AS WELL AS "Wiley-Blackwell" (depending on where the record is coming from we have both spellings in Sirsi).
  • Always double check the spelling of the word "encyclopedia". Sometimes it is spelled "encyclopaedia" (That is how we once ended up with an 800 dollar non-returnable encyclopedia that we already owned).

 

See more specific notes for Baker and YBP as they may not be the same.

 

In SIRSI

-MARC order import --> upload file --> type your initials for the destination --> import --> (No other files to upload)

-Schedule new reports --> ok --> Load bibs w/ order 9xx --> set up and schedule --> click load tab --> select file to load (your initials) --> run now

-Schedule new reports --> ok --> Load Flat order records --> set up and schedule --> click order file selection tab --> select file to load (there should only be one option to choose) --> run now

-Go to the Orders tab on the side toolbar --> Display order specific cycle --> Find your FO# and make sure that everything uploaded correctly and the number of books in the cart from Baker matches the number here. Also, make sure nothing is in lowercase (that means it was a duplicate).

-Go back to schedule new reports --> Book X12 Orders (make sure you choose the correct FY) --> in the orders selection tab update the date created to the current date --> run now

-Schedule new reports --> EDI File Transfer --> run now

When you are finished, you can view your order under the Display order specific cycle tab --> type FO- and scroll to the very bottom. Make sure that the date mailed day says the current date and not "NEVER"

What do the properties mean??

Using SmartPORT in Acquisitions

Match on Title Control Number – The record is considered a match only if the control number matches a title control number found in one of the Title Control Number Source fields. This option is selected by default.

This matches the ISBN (020), ISSN (022), LCCN (001), OCLC number (001), and Local number (035) in the incoming record to ONLY the title control numbers in our catalog

Match on Title Control Number or Indexed MARC Tag – The record is considered a match if the title control number of a library catalog record matches one of the specified Title Control Number Source fields in the imported record, or if one of the standard matching numbers from the incoming record as listed in the Indexed MARC Tag Number field finds a match in an existing SirsiDynix Symphony database index. If you select this option, you must make a MARC tag number selection(s) in the Indexed MARC Tag Number field.

The above setting compares the ISBN (020), ISSN (022), and LCCN (001) in the incoming record to ANY indexed field in our catalog.

Possible fields that could return a match but probably isn’t

 

HOW TO NOT OVERLAY RECORDS IMPORTED BY SmartPORT

 

When ordering a title, be sure to duplicate check we do not already own, or have ordered, the format (eBook, print) as well as the version (pub year, etc.) or edition/volume requested.

Example: order “Shock Therapy: a history of electroconclusive treatment in mental illness” in eBook format.

Once connected to OCLC via SmartPort

find the correct title, (format and ed/vol.)

Evaluate the titles by choosing the   button to look

at each option.  (typically the title selected

is chosen based on how many other libraries hold the item)

Once you choose the record to import, select

 

Once you have selected the title you want to import into our catalog (and then order),

this box of SmartPort properties should appear

Options #2 & #4 are the default for staff members ordering titles on firm and standing orders.

Please note that you will repeat this process

and see these properties for each title that you import/order using SmartPort.

IF the title you are trying to order matches any other existing record in our catalog*, you will see this warning message.

*This is typically due to  the existing catalog record having an Invalid ISBN or alternate title

Example: the eBook ISBN in the print record, and vice versa.

Also, although rare, you can accidentally miss a title if not paying close attention to the edition/volume)

 

*Be sure to CLOSE, NOT save the record to the database! *

Saving is the point where it would overlay the existing record.

Equally important -

*Be sure to NOT save the record

to the database! *

 

At this point, you should repeat the steps, again finding the title you would like to import.

This time, when the SmartPort properties box appears, you will make a change.

Note that to avoid overlaying the existing

record that should remain separate, you should change your setting

from Options #2

and #4 ------

to Options #2

and #3!

See image à

The warning box on matching another record should NOT appear now.

If it still does - STOP

and go ask for help!

 

From this point, you should proceed per normal procedures. Capture the record.

Delete any 856 fields. Save it to the database.

Then choose “Order this Title”

 

And now when you search for the item again,you should see both the print, and the eBook items! ©

Baker & Taylor Ordering Procedures

Placing B&T EDI Order:

IN BAKER

  • Pick up order cards from order box
  • Alphebatize order cards by title
  • Check for duplicates in Sirsi
  • Create an order cart in BT Title source 3 (TS3) [make sure your cart is the Active Cart before ordering]
    • In the note field of each title, add the order information
      • F-(fund) | h(holding codes) | s(selector)
      • example:   F-POL|hBOOKMAIN|sLSM
    • Rename the cart to the next purchase order in SIRSI (FO-)
  • Download the MARC record and save to desktop

IN SIRSI

  • Import titles into sirsi using the MARC order import wizard
  • Load the Bib order
  • Load flat order records
  • Transmit purchase order to BT via EDI using the Book X12 orders AND the EDI File Transfer wizards

 

Building Carts in Baker & Taylor:

  1. create a new cart with your name (or else you will be adding to a cart that’s probably already been ordered)
  2. Search by ISBN: do this first, then search by title (keywords) if it does not come up under ISBN
  3. Check the format and choose paperback if available. (Make sure the alternate choice is the same year and edition as the original
  4. Add the quantity and holding code (I recommend copying and pasting them to avoid typos).  Click the add button and move to the next ISBN
  • After building your cart, transfer the cart to the main account to be ordered
  • NOTE: If there are 0 books on hand—double check the real-time inventory before ordering (THIS ONLY APPLIES WHEN ORDERING IN-STOCK ONLY AT THE END OF THE FISCAL CYCLE)

 

Other Things to Make Note of:

  • Books to be ordered:
    • Anything that is in OR out of stock (unless otherwise notified)
    • Print only (no cds/dvds/ebooks/voice recordings, etc…)
  • Books to be ordered:
    • Books that are not yet published (leave a note of the publication month and year on the card and return to me)
      • You can go ahead and order them [only] if they are to be published within 30 days of the date you are placing the order.
    • Books that are no longer in print
    • Books that are from the UK or any other foreign country (you will see their flag next to the title)
    • Large print books
    • Study guides/lab manuals
  • Alternate Formats
    • If the title you pull up is a hardcover and there are alternate formats available, we always try to order the paperbacks first. See example below (You can click the link for alternate formats when it is available—it will not always be there)

Here is an example:

  • When ordering Alternate formats: always make sure publication dates are the same. Sometimes it will pull up older editions of the same book.
  • If there is ever a major price discrepancy (more than 25 dollars) please let me know.
    • For example: The other day I had a card for a play that should have cost $8.95 but baker and Taylor had mistakenly added the price as 895.00! (Definitely didn’t want to pay that much for it)!
    • This doesn’t happen often, but be aware that it can.
  • Order totals:
    • Always make sure the number of title(s) matches the total quantity number in your cart
      • Unless of course, you are ordering 2 copies of the same book.
    • If these numbers do not match, you have added a book to your cart without entering a quantity (so that book won’t actually be ordered). Please check carefully.
    •  
  • Fund/Holding Codes
    • Watch for special funds (see attached list)
    • Careful not to mix up the selector and the fund (it should read as follows)
      •  F-CHM|hBOOKMAIN|sLMM   
      •                                 NOT
      •  F-LMM|hBOOKMAIN|sCHM
        • Slow down and take your time!
        •  
  • Books that appear to be unavailable:
    • If you type an ISBN and it shows no results, please retype that ISBN to make sure that there was not a typo in your original search
    •  
  • ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TITLE THAT COMES UP IS THE TITLE YOU MEANT TO ORDER.
    • Sometimes if you type in the wrong ISBN it will bring up a different book. Be careful to double check so that we are not ordering the wrong title.

DUPLICATES

    • If you see a message like this, it is likely a duplicate. I will show you how to check the FO number in workflows to make sure it we own a copy (sometimes things will get cancelled in SIRSI but not deleted from the cart in Baker and Taylor)
  • Always look carefully. Sometimes you will see this message when the book is not a duplicate. If the highlighted portion of the screen shows the cart name as “Sam Houston Collection Development….” AND the numbers at the bottom are zeros, you can ignore that message.
    • You will also notice that there is no note field with a holding code on this one
    • These are suggested books that are added to preloaded carts which we usually do not order from
    •  

 

 

 

 

 

In TitleSource3

-Transfer the cart to the main account

-From the main account: select the cart and choose cart options --> enter the newest FO number into the cart name --> check and download the cart you just renamed --> select MARC 9xx download --> right click the top link --> save target as (I put mine on the desktop so it's easy to find)

 

In SIRSI

-Schedule new reports --> ok --> Load Flat order records --> set up and schedule --> click order file selection tab --> select file to load (there should only be one option to choose) --> run now 

-Go to the Orders tab on the side toolbar --> Display order specific cycle --> Find your FO# and make sure that everything uploaded correctly and the number of books in the cart from Baker matches the number here. Also, make sure nothing is in lowercase (that means it was a duplicate).

-Go back to schedule new reports --> Book X12 Orders (make sure you choose the correct FY) --> in the orders selection tab update the date created to the current date --> run now

-Schedule new reports --> EDI File Transfer --> run now

When you are finished, you can view your order under the Display order specific cycle tab --> type FO- and scroll to the very bottom. Make sure that the date mailed day says the current date and not "NEVER"
