Standing Order Programs
Ingram Library Services can help ease the burden of keeping up with popular titles and series. With our Standing Order Programs, you are assured to have high demand materials on your shelves before your students come looking for them. With a variety of Standing Order Programs from which to choose, you can tailor programs to meet the needs of your library and the interests of your students.
Our MLS-degreed librarians manage each program, so you know they will contain the materials that will generate high circulation. Each program has a specific focus, including titles from popular categories like bestselling authors, series, graphic novels, inspirational fiction, and DVD and video. You may sign up for one or for all.
Have it your way–our programs are designed to provide the ultimate flexibility, with the options of enrolling as "Report Only" or "Auto-Ship" through ipage®, our online account management tool that allows you complete access to your program enrollment at your convenience!
New titles are added to Ingram’s database several months in advance of publication. Our Standing Order Program automatically places these titles on selection lists for your library based on your completed profile. For customers who have selected the Auto-Ship feature, major hardcover titles will ship as soon as they are received or by the street date. Otherwise, titles will consolidate with your next shipment or ship within 15 days of receipt, whichever comes first. You will receive a monthly report on ipage detailing standing orders placed on your account. This advance notice provides both convenience and control, allowing you to adjust orders months before they are shipped. You can change your enrollments and backorders at any time before the titles are actually in process to be shipped. You'll also stay informed with our monthly Further Developments e-newsletter that lets you know when new titles are added to our programs.
