Public Libraries: Standing Order Programs

Ingram Library Services can help ease the burden of keeping up with popular titles and series. With our Standing Order Programs, you are assured to have high demand materials on your shelves before patrons come looking for them. With 18 Standing Order Programs from which to choose, you can tailor your program to meet the needs of your library and the interests of your patrons.

Our MLS-degreed librarians manage each program, so you know they will contain the materials that will generate high circulation. Each program has a specific focus, including titles from popular categories like bestselling authors, series, graphic novels, inspirational fiction, and DVD and video. You may sign up for one or for all 18.

To get started, scroll over the Standing Order link on the navigation bar to the left and select a program from the menu. Look over our list of titles offered, and decide which titles you want, in which quantities, and in which formats. You can enroll here on this site.

After we receive your profile, your standing order will be set up on your account. As your requested titles are added to our database (usually two to three months before release), your order is placed automatically. Major hardcover titles will ship as soon as they are received or by the street date. Otherwise, titles will consolidate with your next shipment or ship within 15 days of receipt, whichever comes first. You will receive a monthly report on ipage® detailing standing orders placed on your account. This advance notice provides both convenience and control, allowing you to adjust orders months before they are shipped. You can change your enrollments and backorders at any time before the titles are actually in process to be shipped. You'll also stay informed with our monthly Further Developments e-newsletter that lets you know when new titles are added to our programs.

Our friendly and capable support staff is happy to help you with any questions you may have. Please contact us at (800) 937-5300 Ext. 35748 or via e-mail at: standing.orders@ingrambook.com.
