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.

Account Managers in publisher accounts can opt into the reading copy request tool on their Company Settings page. By default the allow reading copy request tool is set to No. Changing the selection to Yes opens the settings for limiting the request form display. Reading copy requests can be set to be triggered only on titles in specific categories, and only for different segments of the CataList viewership: libraries, retailers, etc. Different contacts for each segment may be provided based on the account type of the requester. Emails will be sent to the specified contacts once a request has been made. Account Managers have the option to have a weekly report sent as well if the weekly summary box is selected. This report consists of all requests made in the prior week delivered as a filterable spreadsheet. |

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. More information on how NetGalley works with CataList. |

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.

If you attempt to re-request the same title, CataList will advise that the title was previously requested, and will provide the date and contact information from the original request.
