- When a patron requests an item not held by CUL, following predetermined guidelines in LTS/ILS Procedure #122, Interlibrary Services (ILS) staff sometimes decides that purchasing a requested item is a better option than handling through Interlibrary Loan or Borrow Direct.
- ILS staff will search current imprints in Oasis (Coutts' interface). If they determine that the title has shipped or selected for approval, the patron information is sent to the LTS ordering email list ltsorders@cornell.edu so that the item will be rush processed on receipt.
- If the item is not expected from Coutts, ILS staff will send the order to ltsorders@cornell.edu who will order the item from Amazon, ILS will provide pertinent location information. The email sent to ltsorders@cornell.edu should include the subject line: Buy or Borrow project.
- In the event that another patron requests an item while it has the "On order" status, Ordering staff will add the patron request information to the Receiving note of the PO's line item.
