Enabling Online Book Purchases

You can set up either or both of two features to give patrons the ability to purchase materials through Polaris PowerPAC and Mobile PAC.

You can set up Purchase links for titles in PAC search results. When a patron clicks the link, a search for the title is launched at a specified online bookstore site.
You can set up Polaris Bookstore by specific contract, and receive back a portion of the sales as a donation to the library. The patron can click a Buy It Now link for titles available at the Bookstore, or browse the Bookstore through a Shop Now link.

If you have a Polaris Bookstore contract and you enable both options, the Buy It Now link is displayed when the title is available at the Bookstore, and the Purchase link is displayed when the title is unavailable at the Bookstore and the title has an ISBN.
