Subject: survey on libraries using electronic Acquisitions tools
*** NOTE: Please respond directly to Virginia Bender, not to ACQNET. ***
To ACQNET subscribers,
For a research project I am conducting a survey of libraries that use
vendors' electronic tools for Acquisitions and Collection Management and
attitudes towards these tools. Attached is a brief survey of questions.
Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey and return it to me by
email at Virginia.Bender_at_mail.wvu.edu or by snail mail to: Virginia
Bender, Health Sciences Library, West Virginia University, P.O. Box 9801,
Morgantown, WV, 26506.
The deadline for getting this survey back to me is March 12.
And thank you for your help with this research project.

1. Is your library currently using, or have you considered using, any
vendors’ electronic Collection Management tools for Acquisitions or
Collection Development?
2. If you are using these tools, which functions in your department do
you use them for (selection, ordering, invoicing, claiming, cataloging,
approval plans, etc.)
3. Which tool are you using? (Blackwell’s Collection Manager, Yankee
Book Peddler’s GOBI, Academic Book Center’s Book Bag, etc.)
4. Do librarians at your library use this tool for Collection Development?
5. If yes, do they feel using it has improved Collection Development?
If so, in what way?
6. Has its use improved work flow in your department? If so, in what way?
7. What do you consider the pros and cons of using this tool?
8. Are there any features you would like to see added by these companies to
improve this tool?
9. Please feel free to make any additional comments.
