I'm not sure if another ILS would be able to do the same thing. I have done this for one of my selectors, and I'd be happy to share the process with you. (As would Innovative, I'm sure.)

Most of our orders are generated by faculty sending us Choice cards noted with their own recommendations for purchase. We purchase books based upon those recommendations (based upon our parameters and fund availability). Once the books are in and cataloged, we send back the Choice card with the call numbers on the back. We are no longer subscribing to physical Choice cards, and I’m not a huge fan of this method anyway as the faculty are notified as long as two months after they submit the cards (occasionally longer). This method also doesn’t work when purchasing e-books. Does anyone have alternative methods to recommend for faculty notification? Does anyone notify faculty immediately upon ordering, with the caveat that the “on the shelf” date is approximately a month to 6 weeks?
