At the top of the page there is a quick search bar, search here by ISBN.
If you have searched by ISBN, then a matching record should open right up.
If you do not have an ISBN, go to the standard search page, select "begins with" and search by title.
If the title search returns no matching result, return to standard search and enter the author's name.
Ideally your record should appear close to the top of the results. When determining a match use the following criteria:
- Title
- Sub-title
- Author
- Publisher
- Paperback/Cloth
- ISBN
If you have a correct matching record, print it out. To do this you will need to complete the following steps:
- Mark the title by clicking on the bar to the left of the record.
- Click print.
- Choose the PDF, one record per page option.
- A window will open - click print icon.
If you can't get down to one record based on these criteria, put a ? on your printout.
If your one record is not an exact bibliographic match, put a ? next to it.
If you record has any of the follow as the status, put a ? next to it.
- The statement Out of Print
- The statement Out of Stock
- The statement "Not Yet Published"
- The statement non-return/non-cancel
Attach the printout to the back of the order.
If your printout has a question mark, record YBP? on the BRF.
If the record doesn't have a question mark, record YBPP on the BRF.
If you didn't find a record at all, record YBPØ.
