Re: [Videolib] (Electronic) Ordering: Media
Same here, using Gobi for book orders. Can't see it working well for videos even if they were in the db. For feature films, I use Midwest Tape (cart) or Amazon (wishlist) and send electronically to Acq. Rush orders - I give them printout of page 1 of the Amazon listing. Educational titles - I have a PDF version of our order form, so can type on it and leave the repetitive info in place for printing. Acq is also okay with printout of batch of DVDs in an online cart from vendor's site, so often just give them that nowadays.

Re: [Videolib] (Electronic) Ordering: Media
Hi Philip, Several years ago I worked with our library web developer on producing an in-house electronic form that our librarians could use to request materials. Once the form is completed and sent it goes to a zlLIST that is shared by Acquisitions staff so that any one of us can monitor and pick up the requests. Currently I'm the only one responsible for pick-up. If I'm out sick/vaction my supervisor takes over. The liaisons also have the option of sending their requests directly to the zLIST (though we greatly encourage using the form) Right now 99.99% of all incoming requests come to me electronically. For the most part it's been pretty successful. If you send me your email address off list I can send you a couple of examples of what this looks like. YBP is our principal book vendor and the library liaisons have direct order access. We also use YBP's cataloging services. Otherwise, I place orders for the rest of the formats (except journals/e-journals) and books that YBP can't get. I don't use a video vendor because most of the stuff I order is for reserve and/or wanted yesterday so we get it faster if I place the orders directly. Usually the liaison will supply the link and/or the name of the video distributor, but it's not uncommon for me to get a list of titles (especially for foreign DVDs) that end up as cold searches on GOOGLE. There are several video clearing houses out there that cater to libraries which is especially useful if you don't have access to a credit card. In the past I've used DVA, Midwest Tape, Movies Unlimited and Facets for feature films. I've heard good things about ACTION! Library Meda Service which can hand both feature and documentary films on video. You can contact me off list if you have any further questions.

Re: [Videolib] (Electronic) Ordering: Media
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.

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 *** Anthony E.

Re: [Videolib] (Electronic) Ordering: Media
Philip, We currently use GOBI, but videos are the exception. I developed an in-house form to use which has all of the information on it as far as cost, public performance (paid and educational), video streaming, distance ed, and cablecasting rights, along with information regarding whether licenses are required and additional costs involved. It also has the notes that need to be included in the cataloging record regarding rights. This information goes to our Technical Services ordering and cataloging staff so they have the whole picture in front of them when they handle it, and they understand which rights we want included with the purchase. If you are just interested in the purchase of feature films, which usually come with no rights other than home and classroom use, then perhaps an online method would work for those. I do have the form in electronic format (Word, I think) if you would like a copy sent to you.
