2CUL PHASE II – MONOGRAPH ORDERING WORKING GROUP – POSSIBLE PILOT PROJECTS

1. "Sharing a single 2CUL ordering specialist for more difficult/challenging-to-obtain items.”

• Columbia has recently hired a support staff person for difficult/hard-to-find ordering.
• Cornell’s staff person who handled difficult/hard-to-find orders is retiring in six months.
• Put the two staff members in touch so Columbia’s staff person could utilize Cornell’s knowledge base.
• One staff person (Columbia’s?) to handle difficult/hard-to-find orders for 2CUL
  • Shifting work assigned to Columbia’s staff person to others in OAR so they can handle both institutional workloads?
    

2. “Potential use of Cornell’s corporate Amazon [account] to order material for Columbia.”

• Investigate the possibility of Columbia using Cornell’s corporate account, or Cornell placing orders for Columbia and having them ship to Columbia.
• Include Columbia’s Financial Services department on initial discussions regarding budgetary funds and ordering from one address and shipping to another.
  

3. Investigate ways to increase Columbia selector use of the POOF!

4. Setting up a WorldCat Selection account for a Columbia selector to use.
