A New Way to Get the Word Out

I have started this blog to give us one place where all of us can go to find out about the latest goings-on at the library. Anyone can comment on any posting. If you would like to post news to the blog, send me an email. I will send you an invitation to set up an account and add you to the list of contributors.

Ordering Staff Books

Technical Services can order books and audio books for you through Baker & Taylor. You will receive the same discount we get when we order for the collection. You can place an order by giving Tech Services the title and ISBN. You can also order it yourself by creating a cart in Title Source 3.

If you create a cart, make sure that it is a grid cart and that you use the Instant Books account. Make sure that you put your name and branch in the notes for each title. Your name will not be on the order slip unless it is in the notes. The name of the cart does not print on either the order slips or the confirmations.

Once you are done, go to View/Edit and make the cart Shared and Closed. You do not have to enter a date. We will then order the cart.

Once the book is received, you will be notified of the discounted price. Payment needs to be by check, made out to the Parsippany-Troy Hills Library.
