Ingram handles Opening Day Collections for libraries of all sizes. Among the services we offer for these projects are Suggested Titles for Opening Day Collections (STOC), our exclusive BookMARC™ cataloging. We can do as much or as little as you need for your project.

The most authoritative and up-to-date title recommendation program of its kind, Ingram's Suggested Titles for Opening Day Collections is an excellent resource to establish a new library, update or expand an existing collection, or evaluate your current holdings. We can customize your selection lists based on subjects desired, review sources, the total dollar amount you wish to spend, and your preference of hardcover or paperback titles. STOC lists are available on diskette or as printouts.

Our BookMARC cataloging service gives you the most authoritative cataloging available. BookMARC includes the entire LC MARC bibliographic database, plus thousands of original Ingram records. Also included are LC Name Authority and Subject Authority records and the latest Library of Congress-recognized author names and subject headings. We can create original records when there are none, and catalog to your specifications.

And of course, we have MLS-degeed professionals on our cataloging staff, so we understand the importance of following strict guidelines. Our Opening Day Collection service extends to storing your order and shipping it when needed. We can pack orders in general classification ranges.
