Many of the librarians on our smaller campuses may not be aware that companies collectively known as bookjobbers will allow you to purchase books with only a purchase order number. These same companies usually have online ordering, free shipping and in some cases free cataloging. If you are new to CCI and do not have a book vendor of choice you may want to try one of the bookjobbers below.

http://emery-pratt.com (free shipping)

You also may not have known that you can create a corporate account (President's approval)that will allow you to order books online from Amazon.com. Prices are good and many times shipping is free. All you have to do is go to the corporate accounts section on the Amazon.com website.
