Selection List
Overview
Acquisitions selection lists aid librarians in making informed decisions for acquiring new and replacement titles for collection development. Selection lists wizards assist librarians in creating and processing these lists. Selection List WorkFlows uses the following types of information to manage selection lists.
|
•
|
Selection list control records, which provide basic information about the selection lists and how they are used |
|
•
|
List line records, which are linked to titles in your catalog |
|
•
|
Decision records, which are linked to the list line records and are also linked to user records, so that a selector can list all of his or her selected titles and make purchasing decisions |
|
•
|
Order and orderline records, which can be automatically created from selection list decisions, and are linked to fund records and vendor records |
The Selection List policies are used to gather statistics about control records, as well as for tracking selection list processing and selection orders. See Selection List Configuration Wizards for more information.
Selection lists reports perform a variety of functions, including notifying selectors when selections lists are active and ready for processing and removing temporary selection list titles that have been rejected. See Selection List Group Reports for more information.
