Advantage Library Cart Naming Convention

To all Advantage Libraries:

When placing Advantage orders please use the following naming convention "ADV - Library Name - (whatever other info you want to include)". For example this is the correct format "ADV-MATAWAN-030113".

This will make the lives of those managing the budgets and orders MUCH easier. Please let Tina (tina.doody@plfdpl.info) know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
