Vendor and Ordering Procedures
Best Times to Order:
August, September, November, December, February, March, May, and June (and anytime after you receive an analysis report from a vendor of choice). This way you will not accidentally order copies of books you already own.
Mackin and Follett have a feature that will alert you if a title you are ordering is on another saved list in your account.
Ordering Procedures:
- Go to an approved vendor site (see below) and create an order. Take note of the total cost including shipping and handling fees.
- Log in to PeopleSoft and create a Requisition in the "Purchasing" menu. Enter the total cost including the shipping and handling fees.
- When the order arrives be sure to check the packing slip to make sure all materials have arrived.
- Make a copy of the packing slip for your records and send the original to the Library Media Office through the interoffice mail
