Why is it called “Automated” ?
It is called “automated” because our booklists, are electronic spreadsheets, alive and interactive. Each booklists is functionally the same - it calculates all its own prices at a glance. You enter the quantity of titles that you select. You open pictures and view covers. You can click on annotations and read them. You will instantly see the total price including GST, so you can gauge your purchases with your budget. Also, after you make your selections, the AUTOMATED BOOKLIST may be returned to us via the internet, by email, merely by clicking on “return”. Thirdly, we summarize your choices into one page and then return them to you. You now have an electronic copy of your order. You may print and use it as a purchase order and a check list. And most important, the means of sending them to you (and you returning them) is via the internet, via email, the method of choice of school librarians. |
