If necessary, confirm it's a reprint and what it's a reprint of:
- If you have a BNA green form with two dates, it's a reprint by the same publisher, of an item originally published in the year given in brackets. No confirmation is necessary, so skip this step.
- Otherwise, search Search WorldCat to determine if the item is really a reprint, and if so, what it's a reprint of. Look for either two publication dates in the WorldCat record (indicating that it's a reprint by the same publisher) or a note indicating that the item is a reprint (usually of an item originally published by another publisher). If it's not a reprint, write "not a reprint" on the order, sign your initials, and search the item as usual.

- If UMBC has holdings on a record with either of the dates given on the order slip , or another reprint of the same edition with a different date (for example, if we have a 1963 reprint of a 1905 edition, we are not going to purchase the 2004 reprint of the same 1905 title), compare the information on the order slip with the record for the item UMBC holds.
- Rarely, new information, such as a new preface, introduction, or notes, has been added to the reprint--give these to the Acquisitions Librarian to make a decision.
- Most likely, the reprint is exactly the same as what UMBC already has, and it's a duplicate. Check availability. If there are any problems with the holdings listing, such as "In Process," "Lost," etc., give the order to the Acquisitions Librarian to make a decision. Write on the slip: "Reprint of YEAR edition at LOCATION CALL NUMBER." For example: "Reprint of 1996 edition at Stacks DD247.H5 D384 1996". Put the slip in the "Already in Library" mailing slot
- If we do own a duplicate item, delete or recycle the request.
If it's not a duplicate, make a Bib decision:
- If there's an exact match to the reprint order, including the year, we'll use that bibliographic record, unless it's invalid. Record a Bib Check. Note the system number on the order. Follow the instructions for the specific type of order at Specific Types of Book Orders.proceed as usual.
- If everything except the ISBN and year on an order for a reprint match a record in the system, we'll use that record for the order unless it's invalid. Note the system number on the order. Follow the instructions for the specific type of order at Specific Types of Book Orders, proceed as usual.
- If there's no record that can be used for the order, simply follow the instructions for the specific type of order at Specific Types of book Orders proceed as usual and a record will be selected and exported later.
- Be sure to record, initial, and date your Bib and Dup results. Also write "Reprint" and your initials on the order to indicate that you've searched the item as a reprint
