General

Quick Click Ordering is an Innovative product.  It is used to streamline the process of creating bibliographic and order records for order placed with vendors who support this functionality.  Supported vendors include Ingram, Quality Books, and Midwest Tapes.  Using Quick Click Ordering with a vendor requires that you have an account and user profile set up with that vendor.

  • Feature to produce a review file of bibliographic records that are created during the Quick Click Ordering process should be enabled.
  • Special load table (Click) is set up for Quick Click.  The load table uses the default bib and order (_bib, _order) templates; it is not specific to one library.
