1. Blackwells Collection Manager:The tool that replaces bookreq for ordering your books
2. Before requesting items in Blackwell Collection Manager you should Check the Library's online catalog (Felix) to be sure we do not already own the title. Check by title and author.
You can obtain additional bibliographic information at Amazon.com or other Internet book vendors
You can also check book reviews at Amazon.com and other Internet book vendors
Check book and publisher information at Books in Print
3. OK, so you have got the information you need and the Woodward Library does not already own the title.
4. Go into Blackwells Collection Manager. The URL is http://cm.blackwell.com
5. How to log in Each department will have one departmental login. Initially, the login information is given to just the faculty liaison but if the department decides to open access to request books to all department members, that is fine.
Bear in mind though, any item requested under a departmental login will be assumed by the applicable subject librarian to be a valid request and could be approved for purchase for the library.
7. Logging into Blackwells Collection Manager Library code is JAPS (Blackwell defined). This field is case insensitive.
Case sensitive user id (lowercase) and

14. Qualifications for search fields
Firm Order titles should NOT be excluded since a title you might be ordering might already be on-order and the library does not want duplicate orders.
Forthcoming titles is pretty clear. Titles that are not published right now but are being published down the road. It is your decision to include or exclude those.
Exclude US titles? Why would you want to do that? A title published in the US would be a quicker item to get.
Exclude UK titles? Why bother? When you get titles that match your search, choose the US version if available; else the library can get UK titles.
