Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I order online?

Our customers have told us that there are times when it would be very convenient for them to be able to place orders with us online. This will be especially helpful for late requisitions and for reorders. We expect the schools will check the availability of titles on our web site and then simply place those researched titles into a shopping cart for instant ordering.

Will I receive an order confirmation?

Yes. You will receive an initial email message confirming your order and notification of any backorders with availability dates when available. The shipment confirmation number will be sent by email when the order ships. If any restrictions would cause an item to cancel (rights restrictions, substitutions and out-of-prints), a warning message will show in the shopping cart and the item will be removed before you place your order.

How do I know the products that I wish to order are available?

The title research and the online ordering functions will show you price and availability. The in-stock date for any "not yet published" titles and "out-of-stock" titles will appear if available.
