Acquisitions are integrated with cataloguing, meaning that order records are attached directly to their respective catalogue records. The catalogue record can, if you wish, be just a short order record with for example just the ISBN, title and author, which can then be completed with full catalogue data later.
The order mask allows you to enter all data necessary to customize printed orders for individual libraries according to library-defined parameters. The tables of parameters in the background of the acquisitions module in LIBERO guarantee fast and error-free order data input and ensure that the order will be executed accurately and securely. The order contains all necessary details about status, delivery and invoice status, while other text fields allow additional information to be maintained.
Orderly management of funds is achieved with a direct link to budget control where instructions in cases of exceeding budgets are given.
Library staff are only authorized to exceed budgets if they have the corresponding access permissions.
Regular monitoring of deliveries can be guaranteed by an order reminder process. This process identifies the orders by means of the reminder periods set in the parameters and can be checked for every supplier before being dispatched (by post, fax or email).
