…where you meet fascinating characters you'll never forget."
-Judy Blume

Keep your library current with the authors your patrons are always asking for with our Author Standing Order Program. This program automatically ships new hardcover fiction titles by popular writers such as Tom Clancy, Dan Brown, Janet Evanovich, and hundreds more.

Additional formats are also available, including large print, Spanish, and audio editions when they are simultaneously released with the regular hardcover. Choose from four audio formats: abridged audiocassettes, unabridged audiocassettes, abridged CD, and unabridged CD editions. Audio Library editions will be included when they are available.

We provide a monthly ipage® report listing the titles placed on your account. This advance notice allows you to review and even alter your order, if needed. Click here to see a full listing of our authors and to sign up for this exciting program. For more information about this or any of our other Standing Order Programs, e-mail us at ExperienceIt@ingrambook.com.

When I'm looking through ipage, is there any way I can simultaneously check to see if the title I'm browsing is one we already have in our collection? It would make my job easier and faster if I could do this. Can you offer any suggestions?
--Selection Sally

Dear Sally,
In ipage, you will find that our OPAC lookup feature does everything you describe! This handy tool allows you to "peek" into your Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) from titles within ipage. After your initial setup--where your ipage administrator provides your library's OPAC Web address, your vendor's specific ISBN search index, and other relevant information--you will see a button to check titles in search results and selection lists. Click the button and a new browser window will open and point to the ISBN within your own Web-based OPAC system.

If your administrator needs further direction on setting up OPAC lookup, refer them to this step-by-step guide.



Enjoy!
