I was wondering, if I do a search for a book, it pops up and I click to order it, how is it decided what member gets credit if more than on member has the same exact book? I understand about giving credit if you're ordering off a specific member's bookshelf. But what if you're not on a specific book shelf? Thanks!

Hi Renee--

Which ever copy has been in the system the longest goes out next. It is called a "First In, First Out" (aka FIFO) system.

Cheers,

Catt
