Subject: "No" Lists
Hello,
I am trying to find a systematic way of dealing with repeat advertisements
from the major legal publishers. These advertisements are for materials
which we have previously decided not to purchase, but the advertisement
keeps reappearing annually, semi-annually, or more frequently!
Some libraries maintain "no lists." These are lists by title, author,
publisher, for which there was a decision not to purchase. Do you find
these lists effective? Are you keeping them in Word, a database, a
spreadsheet? What information is necessary for such a list? How often do
you purge older information? Do you put selected advertisements on the "no
list" or all advertisements, including titles from a notification plan?
Other ideas?
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated! If there is interest, I will
summarize for the list.
As I queried some other lists previously, I apologize for any duplication.
