1. Search the actual item being ordered and record a bib decision.
2. If you found a matching bib record, click availability.
3. If you find UMBC holdings, compare the number and location of items already owned, and determine what we still need to order:
   • If we must order 2 copies:
     • Write "Two Copies" on the order.
     • If there are differences in how the two copies are to be ordered, cataloged, or processed, note the differences between the two copies on the order. If the two copies are to be ordered on different funds, indicate on the order: "Copy 1 on FUND, Copy 2 on FUND," eg. "Copy 1 on REF, Copy 2 on LG". If the two copies are to be ordered for different collections, indicate on the order "Copy 1 for COLLECTION, Copy 2 for COLLECTION," eg. "Copy 1 for Fac/Staff, Copy 2 for Stacks".
   • If we must order 1 copy in order to own 2 copies:
     • Write "Added Copy" on the order.
     • If the 2nd copy is being purchase for a specific location, include with the added copy notation on the order "Copy 2 for COLLECTION," eg. "Added Copy - Copy 2 for FACSTAFF - Jim McFaculty."
   • If we need not order any copies because we already own 2:
     • Indicate the location and call number of both copies already owned on the bottom of the order and put it in the "Already in Library" or "Already on Order" tray as appropriateNotify the CM librarian if necessary, otherwise disregard.
