InterACQ provides online access to Midwest Library Service's specialized collection development and ordering tools.  It offers a variety of applications for academic, public, and special libraries.  Firm orders may be placed through the Midwest Database, Express Entry and the New Book Selection Service.  Instant checking of the library’s pending orders and against orders sent to Midwest within the past twelve months allows for notification of duplicates.  Approval plan customers can view approval history, review exclusion slips, order approval books, or request changes to profiles.  Each menu option provides access to a series of straightforward choices to guide users through the system.  The menu is stationed on the left side of every page to allow quick access to any option.  Help is available throughout InterACQ. Database Searching Users may select titles for ordering from the available databases containing over 100,000 newly published titles. New title information is entered on a daily basis. Selections included in the Midwest Database are University Press, University Press Law, Sci-Tech-Health Sciences, and Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles. Search strategies include title, author, LC class, ISBN, LCCN, or series.  Searches may be focused in the areas of university press, university press law, sci-tech health sciences, and Outstanding Academic Titles.  Advanced filtering allows you to customize your searching by specific LC subject areas, publisher, book format, etc. Publisher catalog information is available for most new titles.  InterACQ's order feature allows you to select titles and place orders online.  Default values may be set for the purchase order number, fund, requester, and comments fields. Express Entry Search the Library of Congress database by ISBN, Title, or Author.  InterACQ will retrieve the record from LC and display the book information for addition to your pending list of orders.  If multiple titles are found a hit list displays individual record selection.  Place orders for titles not found in the LC database by using Express Entry. Default order information may be set for purchase order number, fund number, requester, and comments fields. Order Status The Order Status option provides information about open, invoiced, and canceled orders; allows claiming and canceling of open orders and reinstatement of canceled orders.   MARC Loader Records Abbreviated MARC records may be downloaded for input into a local acquisitions system to assist in order preparation.
