Patron Request Orders

Please order through Amazon whenever possible.

Order preference is for paperback editions so always choose paperback if available.  

Create the PO, Bib, MFHD, and Item records. In addition, please add the following:

Type “REQUESTYYYYMM” in the notes field of the quick line item on all purchase orders for patron requests. For example: REQUEST201607 signifies an order placed in July 2016. Please include this note for "do not notify" requests as well as patron notify requests. 

The request note should be placed on the top line of the note field. Any other notes that might be added to this section should be on a separate line below the request note, ensuring that nothing impedes the capture of PO line items containing this note.

A patron hold must be placed on each item ordered through patron requests.  

Instructions for creating holds can be found under the Purchase Order tab.
