Your young patrons expect you to have the latest releases by the most popular authors of children's and teen books; however, managing all the new releases can be a real chore. Fortunately, Ingram's MLS-librarians can take on this task for you.

When you sign up for Ingram's Author: Youth Standing Order Program, new titles from children's and teen writers as diverse as Christopher Paolini, Mo Willems, Jacqueline Woodson, Jenny Nimmo, and Laura Numeroff will ship to you automatically, as soon as they are available. A monthly report listing the titles placed on your account is provided on ipage®, allowing you to review and even alter your order, if needed.

We've just made this great program even better with the addition of 100 new authors! Now you have access to over 200 of the best youth authors around.

Click here to view the full list of authors available on this program and to sign up. If you are already on the Author: Youth Program, click here to review and add new authors to your program.

Dear Libby,
Several Collection Development Librarians in our library build selection lists in ipage®. Unfortunately, the number of active lists becomes overwhelming and it is difficult to find the lists each of us needs. Is there a way to search for selection lists in ipage?
--Selection List Stressed

Dear Stressed,
Our technology team is always working on new ways to make ipage® an even better tool for collection development and ordering. Recently, we introduced a Selection List Search feature on ipage. This new tool allows you to find selection lists in much the same manner as you search for a book.

To take advantage of this new feature, go to the Simple Search box (top of ipage® home page) and change the first search criteria box (furthest left) to Selection Lists. You can then narrow your selection list search by selecting one of the parameters in the second drop down box (from left). Searches by date must be in the mm/dd/yyyy format. Searches by List Name, Created By, or Edited By will respond much like a Keyword search. If you are searching for a list with several different ISBNs/EANs, you can string them together by using a comma or a space between each number. The Active/Extended drop-down box (furthest right) will change to allow you to search within All Lists (default), Private, Public, or Shared.

Additional information about selection lists can be found in our Selection Lists: The Basis of Your ipage Order guide posted on the right side of the ipage home page.
