"Circulation-Ready"
In the world of "outsourced" library services, books delivered fully cataloged and processed are known as "shelf-ready." That is, they are processed, cataloged and ready to shelve. At Brodart we use the expression "circulation-ready" instead. It describes the value we add to the materials libraries need in the best way we know how.
Our contributions to your library go far beyond the shelves. At both McNaughton and Brodart Books, we relentlessly think about the uses your materials receive, the needs they fulfill and the utility and popularity each brings to your patrons. This isn't about books on shelves. It's about reader's, it's about patrons who need audio and video, Spanish material, guest speakers and a poster announcing this month's biggest bestseller.
So we focus on the needs and preferences of your community and library compulsively. Our work doesn't begin with an order and it doesn't end with a dozen books, in a box, on a UPS truck. We work hard to be imbedded in your community and library, mimicking your processes and helping your accomplish the widest range of patron services.
Collection Development
Our professionals and the sophisticated tools they use cull material that is specifically appropriate to your library from the millions of titles in print. We perform this service in scores of ways, from predicting bestsellers, selecting entire new collections, recommending specific enhancements and previewing upcoming publications in very focused areas.
Every service is designed to bring your patrons better material, satisfying both demand and need in the most professional, locally-sensitive way. Before you order a book, we think long and hard about how it will be used by the people in your community.
Cataloging
And we catalog to whatever level of customization your require. Our item-in-hand custom cataloging will prepare your materials for your ILS system the way a glove fits a hand. Whether it is a "standard" MARC record you require, or full item record customization, cuttering, and live record processing, Brodart has the expertise.
Processing
Our physical processing mimics your technical services department in every way. We follow the most detailed instruction in the industry, mastering even the peculiarities of exceptions.
Sorting & Delivery
Finally, we will sort and shelve books, if you wish. Our preparation for your receipt is meticulous and we will send sales folks and assistants to shelve an opening day collection, if that's what it takes.
Brodart provides truly "circulation-ready" materials.
