See Acquisitions Workflow chart with entire process listed.

Vendors

All orders for library materials will come from Library Selectors (librarians). 

If a faculty member, staff, or student wishes to request an item, please refer him or her to the Library Selector or to Pam Jones.

Submitted orders go to Pam's email. Once a week, these orders will be given to Liz Evans or Pam Jones (electronic resources).

1. Search our catalog (either from the Online Catalog or in the Acquisitions client) to make sure we don't own the requested item.

2. Select vendor.

3. Add bibliographic record and order record(s) to Millennium.

• Include: PO number, requestor, selector, fund, location(s)
   

Serials ordering:

If a publication is available through EBSCO and about the same price it is available through the vendor, we can add it through EBSCOnet.  It is best, however, that in the middle of the year (between January 30 and December 1) that you inquire with our EBSCO rep (currently Maureen Johnson - MaureenJ at EBSCO.com) if we can request an odd subscription length so that all of our subscriptions will come up for renewal around December.  If there is electronic access to the journal you must register through the registration tracker tool at EBSCOnet. 

You must include the campus to which the serial is to be sent. The codes for the campuses are:

Buffalo - AG

Amherst - AM

Rochester - AH

If the title is not available through EBSCO, you can order it directly from the publisher.  Any electronic access licenses should be given to Pam Jones to review and sign.
