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 patrons 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 patrons.

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 option 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.

Popular Adult Nonfiction
With major media attention and high demand from the reading public, many new nonfiction titles become immediate 'must-haves' for libraries. With Ingram's Popular Adult Nonfiction Standing Order Program, it's easy to "stay on top" of the most current nonfiction titles in order to have them on your shelves and ready for circulation by street date.

Our MLS-degreed librarians and expert buyers work closely with publishers to anticipate the titles that will resonate with your patrons. Each month, they select the best forthcoming nonfiction titles to be included in the program. While the number of titles can vary according to the season, the average is about 25 titles per month.

Popular-Adult Series
From Star Trek to contemporary romances, our Adult Popular Series Standing Order Program has all the newest titles from select popular series.

Author-Adult
Keep your library current with the authors your patrons are always asking for with our Author Standing Order Program. This program includes 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, and audio editions when they are simultaneously released with the regular hardcover. Choose audio formats: abridged CD, and unabridged CD editions. Audio Library editions will be included when they are available.

Graphic Novel
The Graphic Novel Standing Order Program provides a wide array of titles in this increasingly popular format. Our specialists have researched hundreds of graphic novel series to ensure your collection has titles appealing to a broad range of readers, ages 8 to adult.

Ingram offers separate Graphic Novel Standing Order Programs for various levels of maturity.
