Ingram Library Services LLC provides librarians with immediate access to the largest selection of books, spoken word audio, DVD/Blu-ray titles, video games, music CDs and other book-related products in the industry. Our full range of library value-added services includes comprehensive Collection Development support, New Title Notification/Standing Order and Continuations programs, as well as shelf-ready cataloging and processing services customized to the library’s specifications. Our Technical Services Team includes professional MLS-degreed and paraprofessional catalogers and processing associates. Collection Development lists are created by MLS-degreed Collection Development Librarians.
Libraries can search our inventory, review and download complimentary lists and programs, create selection lists, place orders, and access account-specific information through ipage, Ingram’s online collection development and ordering tool. ipage includes complete title information, collection development resources, and real-time stock check. Customers with a current, active Ingram account will have access to ipage at no cost for unlimited concurrent users.
As an Ingram Content Group company, Ingram Library Services enjoys the benefit of being part of one of the largest wholesale distributors of book-related product in the world, including physical book distribution and print on demand solutions from multiple regional distribution centers. With over five decades of experience, we have established publisher relationships, inventory, and infrastructure in place to provide our customers with the highest order fill rates and unparalleled speed of delivery.
Ingram is a privately held, family-owned corporation operating under the same ownership since our inception. The Ingram family is actively involved in the day-to-day operations of our company and has a vested interest in our customers’ satisfaction. A tremendous advantage of being a family-owned company is the history and stability of ownership backing our long-term plans to remain the number one book vendor and service provider in the library market.
