Polaris and Acquisitions

Hello.

If your library has a well-established process with using Acquisitions and electronic ordering with some of the major vendors, and you’re willing to share your experiences, could you please contact me here?

Thank you,

Ann

Here is our overview of the process: CLC System Housekeeping Articles

My biggest piece of advice is to make sure you start small! Place several small orders successfully before someone does a huge order. Untangling issues is a lot easier if you’ve just ordered one or two titles versus hundreds.

I also did a presentation in 2018 that has some troubleshooting tips: Wes’ 2018 IUG Presentation – Polaris Acquisitions for System Administrators – Central Library Consortium
