General note: In the case of resources which are free on the web, the LTS default is to add a bibilographic record to FOLIO which points to the resource.
If a selector requests a PDF for purchase and indicates that the resource should be printed or archived in eCommons, see the appropriate section below. The steps outlined below do not take into account any open licensing issues. It assumes that the requested item is available for use within the Cornell community without other restrictions or terms of agreement in the case of digitized copies. In the event that the selector asks that the item be printed and housed in the library, it assumes that the appropriate permission has been established.
