Master Titles allows the district to add an ISBN into TIPWeb-IM by providing lists of instructional materials to choose from. If the desired ISBN is located in one of the many lists (broken down by state), bringing in the ISBN through Master Titles additionally brings in multiple ISBN related fields without the need for manual data entry.
Master Titles is one of the two ways to add an ISBN into TIPWeb-IM (review add a textbook) not currently in use within the district.
Click on Tools, located on the Navigation Bar.
Click on Master Titles, located under the Textbook Tools subcategory. This opens the Master Titles page.
Select the desired state using the State drop down menu.
Search for the desired ISBN in the Titles grid.
Click on Select ISBN, located on the ISBN's row.
If desired, enter the starting district wide inventory quantity into the Copies field.
Select the desired funding source using the Funding Source drop down menu.
Click on Add to Inventory. The message "Transfer completed!" displays and both grids are refreshed (removing the ISBN from the Titles grid and adding it to the Inventory grid).
Click on Previous Page to return to the Tools page.
If reporting on purchasing instructional materials and funding sources are important, use a zero starting quantity when adding the new ISBN to the district's inventory. Then utilize Vendor Orders to bring in quantities and document purchasing information.
Add multiple ISBNs at one time by searching for the desired ISBNs and clicking on Select All (located in the blue header bar). This selects all ISBNs displayed in the Titles grid and makes them eligible to be transferred to the Inventory grid.
