Our campus finance and purchasing officers will not let us use Amazon.com, and I have not heard the reason for that restriction. It certainly would make life easier! (But only if they would let us use a procurement card, as we used to be able to do! -- and never had any complaints from the auditors at the time!!!)
If you are taking donations, are the donated monies going into a fund for which you have a procurement/credit card? In my experience, Amazon.com does not work well with purchase orders. (We tried that briefly when we no longer had access to a procurement card.)
Good luck with your wish list!

Subject: [ACQNET-L] Amazon wish list?
We are thinking of starting a book wish list on amazon.com , especially as the library is celebrating an anniversary year this year, hoping to generate donations. Have any of you done this and if so, any tips on what to do or not do as we set it up? And then, how have you marketed the opportunity to donate?
Thank you, Mara
