Subject: RE: ACQNET: Cancelled orders reports
We have never routinely reported back to selectors on cancellations. Once
the orders for a specific fiscal year are complete, I purge the order
records for those which are complete. I retain in the system, however, the
records for cancelled orders so selectors will not re-request publications
that are not available, OP in particular. I proceed under the assumption
(and I know that can be dangerous!) that they search the catalog to avoid
unnecessary duplication.
We are a III Innopac library system, also.

Subject: Cancelled orders (notifying bibliographers vs. reports)
Greetings:
We are considering ceasing the practice of returning order packs (i.e,
the original request from the selector coupled w/the order file copy of
the purchase order) to notify selectors that their orders have been
cancelled. Instead, we are planning to train selectors to generate
lists/reports in our automated system (III Innopac, to be specific) so
they can identify which orders have been cancelled.
We would like to know if other library acquisitions departments have
adopted a similar approach--i.e., shifting the responsibility of cancelled
order notification from acquisitions staff to the selectors (by requesting
that they generate reports from whichever automated system that is being
utilized) and your experience w/such an approach. Thank you in advance
for your feedback.
