All supply orders should be sent to Acquisitions for fulfillment. Supplies are divided into two broad categories; Library supplies and general office supplies. All supplies needed to process library materials such as spine labels, barcodes, label protectors, tattle-tapes etc. are ordered by CV in bulk from the main library budget. All other general office supplies are charged to each campus’s local supply budget. See: Teams > Library Services > Shared Documents > Supplies Tracking
An equipment budget is also available at the local campus level for items under $500 in value e.g. step stools, book carts etc. Other major items over $500 must be requested from the local campus capital budget.
Library-specific supplies are usually ordered from Brodart. To save on shipping costs large group orders are placed throughout the year, and then distributed to the campuses. Supplies which may be ordered from the college wide library supplies budget:
Book jackets
Security strips
Label protectors
Labels which we all use
Book repair tape
Filament tape
Stamps everyone uses such as NO RENEWAL
Storage cases – CD, DVD, audio
Book ends
General office supplies are usually ordered from Staples or Amazon. Try to place orders with multiple items to save on shipping. You can specify the exact items you would like (include direct links in your email), or you can ask Acquisitions to find the best price available. Acquisitions can look up previous orders if you would like to receive more of a specific supply. Examples of supplies which should be ordered from your own campus library supplies budgets:
office supplies (pens, paper clips, staples)
Kleenex and cleaning supplies
receipt printer rolls
staff printer toner
Anything else which your campus uses that other campuses don’t use.
