There are five components to the new system:
- Catalog Feed -- Import catalog lists from publishers.
- Create List -- Select and add the titles for eContent acquisition.
- Purchase Orders -- Generate multiple purchase orders based on the number of different publishers.
- User Management -- Set up a new librarian user, new acquisition account or reset existing account passwords.
- Email -- Automatically generate email alerts to librarians for all new catalog updates, to acquisitions staff when a selection list is being submitted for purchase, and to a user when an account has been setup or updated.
"This new service is very compatible with the 'DCL Model' for eBook acquisition and circulation," said Jimmy Thomas, executive director of the Marmot Library Network. "Librarians leery of the high costs of eBooks will appreciate a tool that facilitates the direct purchase of eBooks, and eliminates needless mark-ups, without requiring too much extra effort by library staff."
