Hi Wade,
I was just reviewing procedures and I have a question regarding the call number - If the call number appearing on the book does not match the bib record - we are to assume always that the book call number is correct?
Thanks,
Marcia

Hi Marcia,
It's pure expediency. Accepting the call number on the book and updating Horizon is easier than re-labeling the book. Since we and the vendors are both using OCLC records, I don't think it will happen too often. (I'm hoping, anyway...)

Looks good Wade, are you going to create lists like this for all vendors?

Hi Marcia,
No, I want to consolidate our NYP and wishlist items on these lists and let Amazon do some of the leg-work for us!
Amazon keeps the availability of items on the list up-to-date automatically. We can quickly skim through the lists and get an idea of which items are available. For the most current titles, we might try YBP or BLK, but in many cases we can just hit "add to cart" and save ourselves some searching. Some of the obscure stuff (like Togo Salmon) we won't find on Amazon, but lots of others will be there.
I'm thinking of having the students work on adding titles from the paper wishlist files if we can fit it in with their other work.
