Apologies for cross-posting

Dear Acquisitions Librarian, 

At the International Monetary Fund, we have a centralized information 
procurement process. We purchase books, periodicals, and electronic 
information resources for several libraries within our organization as 
well as the staff of the organization (those materials kept in their 
offices for their professional use).

We are now studying the possibility and efficiency of changing to a 
decentralized procurement model. I would like to find out about the 
best practices in this area. I would appreciate if you take a minute 
or so to answer the below 5 questions:

1. Type of your organization (please put an X in front of the 
relevant category) 
        Corporate 
        Academic 
        Government 
        International 
        Others (specify) 

2. Do you use Credit Card (purchase card)?    

If yes, what is the rough annual percentage of the number of orders 
paid by credit card? 

3. Do you purchase for the staff of your organizations as opposed to 
purchasing just for the library(ies) within your organization?

4. If you have more than one library, do you have a centralized 
procurement for information materials?  Or each library does its own 
purchasing?  

5. Your additional comment (optional): 

Please reply directly to:  mdehnadi_at_imf.org  

Thank you for your time and effort,
