Ordering/receiving

Ordering and receiving processes are almost always handled by Acquisitions staff, though the Copy Cataloging unit occasionally assists with receiving work.

In receiving work, question whether Special Collections wants a title if:

• It was published before 1866, or

• Fewer than 150 copies were published, or

• It is autographed by the author.

Files on ordering/receiving will be retained for 7 years or until the last audit

• Cease/Cancellations

• Paper invoices

• Material returns

• Over $200.00 orders
