WebLink Requisitions
With the exception of Amazon, Follett, and Mackin, most library orders require a requisition generated by using WebLink. The requisition will progress through the appropriate approval tree resulting in a purchase order (PO) that is submitted to the vendor.

Online Ordering Procedures
Although many vendors are set up for online ordering, our business office only permits online ordering from selected vendors, currently Follett, Mackin and Amazon. For all other vendors for whom online ordering procedures have not yet been established, a WebLink requisition must be submitted to place an order. When ordering from Follett, Mackin or Amazon, follow these instructions:

Demco Ordering Procedures
We are not set up for online ordering from Demco, but you can create an account so that you can submit a cart and receive a quote, which can then be attached to a WebLink requisition. The quote will reflect the appropriate Iowa discounts for the various items.

Local Purchase Orders
When purchasing from a local vendor (Prairie Lights, Barnes & Noble, Daydreams Comics), and you will go to select and/or pick up the items yourself, the preferred method is for you to prepare a WebLink requisition. Request that the PO be emailed both to you, and to the vendor. It's a good idea to take a copy of the PO with you when you go to the store to pick up items.
