Ingram’s Forthcoming Title Notification Program
Selecting new titles and having them on your library shelves in a timely manner is essential to serving your community. However, researching forthcoming titles by
perusing publisher catalogs, reading reviews, and searching the Internet is time-consuming. That’s why Ingram staffs one of the largest and most knowledgeable
teams of book buyers in the country. Our team meets daily with publishers, large and small, to stay abreast of thousands of forthcoming titles, from the next bestseller
to niche professional works. They rely not only on pre-publication buzz, databases, systems, and processes, but also on their personal expertise to make the right new
title selections for our customers. We rely on their expertise every day. Now with our iSelect Program you can, too.
Streamline your selection process and never miss a forthcoming title again!
The iSelect Program is based on Ingram’s buying level of pre-publication titles. You select the categories and indicate the levels you want to see. Then, when Ingram makes
a purchase of a forthcoming title at your pre-determined level, you are notified. The iSelect Program is fully customizable to meet the needs and interests of your library. If
you only want to see the hottest titles in certain categories, you can. If you only wish to see new titles by certain publishers, you can do that, too. With iSelect, it’s
easy!
Customized Pre-Publication Selection Tool
You design your program by selecting the publishers, subject categories, bindings types, and purchase levels that best fit your needs. Your weekly report— and shipment,
if you select the Automatic Shipment option— is based on this information.
Customize by— Subject Categories
Your individual profile will include a full listing of subject categories based on BISAC categories. You may select any or all categories that fit the needs of your library.
You may choose to enroll at the BISAC Major, Secondary or Tertiary levels, depending how customized you want the results.
Customize by— Binding Type Options
Hardcover, Quality Paper, Mass Market, and Audio format options are available in this program.
Customize by— Ingram’s Purchase Level
You may choose to include titles that Ingram purchases in very large quantities or choose to be notified of every title purchased in the categories you have selected, or somewhere
in between.
Customize by— Publisher
With iSelect, you can customize to include or exclude specific publishers.
It’s a pre-publication notification program.
Each week, your customized pre-publication title listing is posted on ipage® - our online collection development and account management tool. You can use the listing to add
individual titles or download the full report to your computer or Integrated Library System (ILS).
It’s a pre-publication Standing Order Program.
Many customers find the automatic shipment option a great convenience. Prior to shipping, a full title listing is available for review on ipage. At that time, you can choose
to edit quantities or remove titles from your order.
Best of all, iSelect is a FREE program for all Ingram customers! For more information about this program or to sign up, visit the Programs & Services
tab on ipage, contact your Account Manager or e-mail our Collection Development Department at library.colldev@ingrambook.com.
