The OAR Unit at Columbia ingests order requests from selectors by email, the Pre-Order Online Form (POOF), GOBI, and drop-offs in the Selector Review Area. Columbia processes "Priority 1" orders (patron requests, course reserves, regular rush) first before other orders. A majority of the orders are submitted with vendors pre-assigned by selectors and in the case of selections made in GOBI, are ordered with Columbia's main domestic vendor YBP. Order requests submitted without an assigned vendor are assigned vendors based on country of publication, or language. Cornell receives orders from selectors through World Cat Select (WCS), POOF, email, and drop off/order tray. Cornell processes orders within a 24 hour timeframe.
