Requesters are first required to create an account. Once they are logged in they can do author, title and general keyword searches. ISBN and Amazon ASIN numbers will work in the general keyword search. When they find the title they want to request, they can add a note or just hit the "Submit" button. The request is then transmitted to the JTacq client Patron Request queue. The queue is downloaded and the list of requests are electronically searched to determine if any titles are already owned by the library. The list is then either sent to designated selectors using JTacq's "Selections" web feature or a broadcast search is done of designated Vendor databases (Amazon, Amazon used books, ABEBooks, B&T, YBP, etc.) to identify the vendor with the lowest purchase price. These are only a few of JTacq's many rich feature. It baffles me why more libraries aren't using it.

We have a note field in the ILL request form that allows faculty & students to suggest a purchase. This is especially great because patrons don’t have to know about two different forms. Our collection development librarian reviews all the requests in the loan queue and will purchase or ILL depending on several factors (cost, currency, interdisciplinarity, etc.). Then, all she has to do is route the request to an ILL queue or an acquisitions queue. No emails involved. Often, people will request items that haven’t been published yet and this is great for managing those because we can just move those into a future purchase queue and come back to them when they become available.

I’d like to follow up on this topic and ask: Are any of you using Springshare’s LibAnswers to track and organize new book purchase requests? If you are, or have tried to but decided not to, could you please share your experience or recommendation? Hi Lisa – Did you receive any suggestions that you could share? Have you found a solution for your library since you posted the question? ****** At UNR, we are currently using Springshare’s LibWizard-Forms for book purchase requests (http://guides.library.unr.edu/libacq/bookrequest). We also accept direct email requests from subject librarians. All of these requests go to our Acquisitions staff via email. Since we heavily rely on patron/librarian requests for books to firm order, we receive many hundreds of book request emails in a year. The high volume of book requests is making our current system unsustainable. In addition to LibAnswers, we have also considered possible homegrown options like Microsoft Access and SharePoint List function. We also use Springshare’s LibWizard-Forms for media (DVDs, streaming) purchase requests (http://guides.library.unr.edu/libacq/mediarequest). This form is working well for us so far. The lower volume of media requests we receive makes it much more sustainable than the book form. ****** Thank you!
