Blackwell's Collection Manager
Citations
|
| Guidelines for selectors
|
| 1. Collection Manager is most efficient when you
use it as a tool for requesting titles that
have been sent to you as electronic form selections.
It is still efficient, although less so, if you
mark other current or forthcoming titles
which have not been sent to you as form selections. This is due
to the necessary checking against approval plan profiles that takes
place prior to ordering.
|
| 2. It is not efficient to use Collection Manager
to request titles that need explanatory notes
(called "internal notes" in CM). Such notes are not extracted
in the format we use to pull information out of Collection Manager.
Thus, it is not a tool for ordering replacements,
added copies, or titles listed with volume numbers. Nor
is it appropriate for placing a rush order,
as requests are not harvested on a daily basis.
These can be most quickly ordered by sending an
email to Order Division, preferably including the Bibliographic
ID number with fund information.
If you wish to tag a form selection with an "internal
note", such as "give to circ for..." "not to
circulate", etc., you can easily save
the request as an HTML file or text file. In the pop-up
request window, go to the File menu at the top of the request,
choose Save As and give it a file name. Then email it as
an attachment to Order Division.
|
| 3. The listing of a title
in Collection Manager does not mean that it is in stock, or even in
print. Any older titles selected are processed using the
full search procedure which takes much longer than the search and
order procedure used for current titles.
RLIN or OCLC is a better tool for requesting such
titles, and screen shots may be emailed to Order
Division to request the titles.
If you wish to use CM to request these titles, please
notify Carol Fagundus ahead of time to clear any current titles
out of the request queue. This will allow for rapid ordering of
the current titles, and special treatment of the retrospective titles.
