What To Do with Title Requests

What do you do when a patron requests a title that is not currently available in Wisconsin’s Digital Library?

  1. Check to see if it is available in Wisconsin's Digital Library via Deep Search.  If so, share information with the patron about how to search with Deep Search and tag a title with a "Notify Me" tag.   [Note: If the title does not appear as available for purchase in Wisconsin's Digital Library, it is likely that it is not a title we can purchase due to publisher restrictions.]
  2. If your system has an Advantage account - an account that allows consortium members to grow their own collection to supplement the statewide collection - share the recommendation to the designated Advantage account administrator for your system. Do not direct the patron to contact that person directly.
  3. Share the recommendation to your system representatives on the WPLC Selection Committee. Do not direct the patron to contact that person directly.
