Midwest offers a service called InterACQ, which seems to do many of the things we are looking for. Full information is available at their website.
Briefly, Midwest offers:
- selection and ordering for all major university presses AND Choice outstanding titles for the last 5 years (original Choice review included)
- a system that allows for three levels of security: inquiry (this could possibly apply to teaching faculty), selector (librarian), and administrator (Xiao Hua).
- MARC record loader to add order records to our system (they specifically point out that they work with Innovative Millennium)
- includes an "order status" option for open, invoiced and shipped items
- we can create LC-based ordering profiles for as many users as necessary (I think)
- does not cost anything!
- Promptcat records and book pre-processing are available, including paperback reinforcement and prebind services
