[ISLMA-Share] New Books

Fri Jul 8 08:29:38 CDT 2016

I have created what I call The Mother of all Lists at Follett. I believe
it's up to over 7,000 books and $130,000! I also put books in my shopping
cart on Amazon, then click on Save for Later. When I have time, I find all
the books I've saved on Amazon and add them to my giant list. I make sure
to add short notes to the books so I remember where I found them (ex: 2016
Caudill nominee or SLJ STEAM rec) why I wanted them (pic bk hist fict for
4th gr), or who wanted them (req by Kim G for sci)

Then, when I am ready to place an order, I go through the Mother list and
create smaller lists from that using the First Choice check box. I move all
the ones I checked to a new list and that's what I use to place my order.

I do have to prune the list though. Usually I have many wanted titles that
are no longer available and delete them. I think Follett also has an app
where you can scan a book's isbn and add it to your titlewave lists. I
think I had that app two phones ago...
