Thank you both for your comments. John, I look forward to your presentation!

In the interests of streamlining, I think we will go ahead with our plan, and expect some fall-out with duplicate orders. And if we start receiving too many dups, then the acq staff can resume double-checking on the librarians.

Cheers,
Frances

Sadly, I must agree with Ted, but wish it weren't so, even though times
have changed such that our acq staff no longer perform duplicate order
checking (or at least they're not supposed to). Don't even get me
started on fixed field coding values as assigned by selection librarians
in order records. In fact, these are points I will be mentioning during
my IUG presentation that focuses on how our firm order acquisitions
processes were remade with the selection of BNA as our primary firm
order vendor and our use of their CM interface. Coming soon to an IUG
15 conference near you!

Perhaps Canadian reference librarians are different than their American
colleagues. I would never depend on a reference librarian to catch a
duplicate order. Actually, I wouldn't depend on ANY librarian or anyone

other than an acquisitions person for this. Acquisitions staff are the

ONLY people with the skills and motivation to do accurate duplicate
order checking. I wish that it was different, and have tried to make it
different, but that's been my experience for 25 years in the library
biz.

Hi Said,

Yes, the reference librarians make the selection and place the order.
Then the acquisitions staff checks it, cancels the duplicates and
downloads the remainder. And yes, we got Coutts to set up the ISBN
search-link to our catalog... So, the next logical step is to get
librarians to use it, so that they can avoid ordering dups and
identify added copies. I can't think of a draw-back to automating the
process using match & attach. However, though it's less work for
acquisitions staff it may incite a rebellion in the reference
division! So we are eager to hear from libraries who have made the
switch, or just where it is working for them... or if there are
problems with using match & attach from either vendor.

Regards from snowy BC,

Frances
