CataList allows publishers to enable a reading copy request feature which will allow publishers to optionally enable retailers, librarians, media or other account types to request advance reading copies of their forthcoming titles.
CataList’s role is to enable the conversation between readers and reps through the use of a request form triggered through title or catalogue views, based on permissions set by the publisher.

In order to make a request, you must be logged into CataList and the publisher must have enabled requests for your account type. The title must have a publication date in the future and be included in a top-level category also enabled by the publisher.
If all of these conditions are met, you will see a Read Me button on catalogue and title detail pages in CataList.
Click the Read Me button to open the list of available options for reading this particular title, including the link to NetGalley if e-galleys are currently available through their service. Titles in NetGalley always display the Read Me button, regardless of whether or not the publisher has enabled the direct request option. However if the publisher has enabled direct reading copy requests the option to request from publisher will also display.

Click the Request from Publisher option to open the form where you can supply your contact information and other details such as preferred reading format. The system remembers the address and job title information that you enter to minimize effort on future requests, and an optional text box allows you to supply additional supporting information to persuade a publisher to send out an advance reading copy.
The form clarifies that provision of reading copies is based on availability and is at the discretion of the publisher.

Submitting the request generates an email to the publisher-provided contact, with a CC to the requester.
If reading copies are available, the publisher can then supply a reading copy or communicate availability details to the requester directly.
