The phrase Coming Soon in a Findit record indicates an upcoming title that Library selectors anticipate will be a bestseller. Coming Soon titles are visible in Findit as soon as they are cataloged, so you can see what popular titles are, well, coming soon. You may also see locations with added copies on order. But the best part? You can place holds on these titles before copies are in the system! Most Coming Soon books are ordered pre-publication and arrive 7-10 days after Ingram, our book vendor, has them in stock.
Two Coming Soon titles that you may place a hold on from today’s catalog:
His Illegal Self by Peter Carey
His Illegal Self is the story of Che—raised in isolated privilege by his New York grandmother, he is the precocious son of radical student activists at Harvard in the late sixties. Che begins a journey that leads him to a hippie commune in the jungle of tropical Queensland. Here he slowly, bravely confronts his life, learning that nothing is what it seems. Who is his real mother? Was that his real father? If all he suspects is true, what should he do?
L.A. Outlaws by T. Jefferson Parker
Los Angeles is gripped by the exploding celebrity of Allison Murietta, her real identity unknown, a modern-day Jesse James with the compulsion to steal beautiful things, the vanity to invite the media along, and the conscience to donate much of her bounty to charity. Nobody ever gets hurt—until a job ends with ten gangsters lying dead and a half- million dollars worth of glittering diamonds missing.

This is great - I was hoping for a feature like this to be added to the catalog. Thanks for listening.
Also, it should be pointed out that you can also search by the "Coming Soon" location in the advanced search screen to find out what is on order if you are looking at placing a suggestion for a title.
Chris, Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that "Coming Soon" was an option under Locations, and I work at the Library!
