Re: [Videolib] (Electronic) Ordering: Media

[Stanton, Kim]

UNT's process is also similar to what Anthony and Jeanne described. GOBI is 
used for books and some a la carte ebook acquisitions, but most other materials 
(including media) are handled differently.


For home video/ feature films, I usually compile an Amazon wishlist of item and 
send this to my acquisitions person for purchase.  The universal wishlist 
function is nice - I can included non-Amazon websites/ sellers in the list. If 
there are no urgent requests, I usually send this list to acquisition when it 
hits around 30 items, or every 2-3 weeks.



Ed. films/ Institutional purchase - If I'm ordering several film from a single 
vendor or will receive some sort of discount, I have a excel form I fill out 
and email to my acquisitions dept.  There are fields to note fund codes, 
"notify" notes, discounts, sales rep, etc.  If it's a single item, I sometimes 
just include it in the aforementioned Amazon list, using the outside link 
function.



Digital rights/ anything with a contract are a completely separate process.

Thanks,
Kim

Phillip! Here at USC most of the selectors submit our monographic
orders electronically through GOBI--very much similar to what Jeanne
Little described as they do at the University of North Iowa.

DVD orders are a whole another ballgame. Generally what I do is
submit to our Acquisitions Dept. lists (on Word) of films asking to be ordered.
I submit two kinds of such lists: one for feature films (generally
available through Amazon) and a totally separate one for documentary
features. With both lists I provide for each title bibliographic information
as provided by WorldCat. With documentary films I also provide our
Acquisitions Dept. with the URL link to the distributors' website, insuring
that the film will be ordered with the public performance rights. (See below)

This seems to work for us here at USC.

Cheers!
Anthony
