Before concluding that the library does not own a book, search under both author and title. Sometimes books have alternate titles that can be tricky to locate.

Look for the book record in either 'Books in Print' or 'OCLC Worldcat'.

Make a note of the ISBN number.

Enter the book title and the ISBN number on the bookorders speadsheet; which is kept in shared docs on Tahoma.

The path is listed here:
